I agree the L-ion batteries in these things are a pain, this is partially why I got me a CompactDrive (AA powered). No good to hear you had so much difficulty sourcing a battery, they are pretty cheap here (AU$35.00) and very easy to change. http://www.powerinnumbers.com.au/ Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
