Microwave with just a dial: http://www.amazon.com/Dial-Microwave-1000W-15-0357-Category/dp/B000SKO38W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1283522479&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Dial-Microwave-1000W-15-0357-Category/... (there are many more). Although for what it's worth, my microwave has a "Popcorn" button that makes perfect popcorn every time. I don't have a land line so I can't help you there. Although I always know where my cell phone is. Every brand of garage door open seems to offer a single button remote (http://www.amazon.com/Genie-GIT-1BL-One-Button-Control-Intellicode/dp/B000628QSA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1283522569&sr=8-3 http://www.amazon.com/Genie-GIT-1BL-One-Button-Control-Intel...) and there are several aftermarket generic single button remotes as well. Most modern dishwashers have a "clean" light that lets you know when the dishwasher is clean. My old Kenmore even does. My wife's Audi A4 had an analog clock, although her new car has digital. I STRONGLY prefer digital. Setting the analog one was always a pain, and it didn't auto adjust for daylight savings time, like the new digital one does. My Samsung TV has an on-off button and channel up and down buttons on the front. A dial doesn't make a lot of sense when you have 100s of channels.

Setting the analog one was always a pain, and it didn't auto adjust for daylight savings time, like the new digital one does. I prefer digital clocks as well, but a car adjusting for DST? That seems like a recipe for more complexity, not less. What happens when the DST rules change? Then, instead of manually adjusting the clock twice a year, you have to adjust it four times - once each time the automatic DST change occurs on the wrong date, and again each time to adjust it on the correct date.

  I'm sure this can be patched after manufacture--the logic is probably on a flash prom. I would hope the dealership takes care of this during a regular service.

  New Audis have a radio-driven clock, which means you never ever need to set the time.
