The power strip is not necessarily accessible. It's just any ol' power strip. The timer is accessible. The device I remember seeing was basically a power strip with an accessible 24-hour time delayer built into it. What I saw used to, but no longer is, sold in a catalog of products for the blind, from the American Foundation for the Blind, who no longer sells such products. So, it might still be available from another such source. --- Be positive!
