Hi  James
Just to clarify.
I think you  may have  got wrong end  of stick.

"And anyway why do you need a talking microwave"

The question was  surely  irrelevant  because I was not asking  about
talking microwaves, I was asking  about iphones  controlling  a
microwave.

I have one of the microwaves discussed before, with the 2 dials for
time and power. Works fine for me.

Also, shall we stop the arguing? If Angie thought that Derek was
hearing impaired, it seems quite an understandable question to ask
(though it may have been rather less abrupt,) given the topic.
Also, if someone's offended by a question, ignore it. Don't start
hounding people for asking it.
