I strongly recommend the Cobolt. There are two versions: one with a
calendar and one with a timer. I find the latter more convenient, but it's
a personal choice issue. I know that the Fountains sell it at:
http://www.disabilityspecialtys.com
and I'm pretty sure it's available from other online vendors specializing in
sales to the blind community. It uses a 9-Volt battery and an a.c.
converter is also available. I've had mine for several years and really
like it. I'm somewhat hard of hearing without my aids and the Cobolt is
loud enough (several volume settings are available) to wake me up. The
whole thing is 100% accessible.

Subject: off topic, need talking clock recommendations anyone
HI folks,
FOr years I've used the good ol' Radio Shack vox clock three as my
bedroom alarm. YOu all remember those: two alarms, westminster
chimes or voice on the quarter hour if desired, date and time etc.
Mine is losing its mind frequently and plugged into ac power. I'm
looking for something with a similarly loud alarm and ease of
operation. suggestions anyone?
WHen I've got a moment I'll put some coherent thoughts together in
response to Tom's contesting question.
