        How many 2400's are there on this list?  If EVERY one of you
ordered a battery or two,  and you can damn well assure yourself you'll
need it some time, then this company would reorder from its previous
supplier when faced with orders for a couple of hundred orders.  SOLIDARITY
FOREVER!
        BTW, I'm going to work my way up to affording a 2400 one of these
days, and hope someone does something about parts availability.
