   Aha.  I miss RS.  I see that I have you beat, Authorized resellers 64   
   and 70 miles away, though not under the name Radio Shack.   
      
   Surprisingly, I go within one mile of one next month when I visit a   
   friend in New Jersey.  I should go look.  I still have my card, I'm   
   sure, so maybe I can get free batteries.
