One day I'll buy a new microwave oven and will keep this in mind. Mine
(Sharp) isn't that old; I bought it about 6 years ago. I still don't like
it as well as the one I had in the 1980's; that oven could do anything.
Wouldn't have surprised me if it walked into my bedroom and told me to get
ready for work! Now I have a cat that wakes me up. She doesn't cook,
though.
