Kewl - a $2 CR-2032 battery in a $5+ padded box with a $10+ shipping bill! Well, at least that 4-day wait saved you that 15-minute trip to the grocery store... This reminds me of the time we ordered 15 MS CALs for NT-4. We got a huge cardboard box. Inside was lots of bubble wrap. Inside this was 15 MS software boxes (each about 2" thick). Inside each of these was a corregated spacer to fill the box. Inside the spacers was an envelope. Inside each envelope was a card that said something like "Microsoft Windows NT4 Server Client Access License - One License". (No wonder they cost so much!) ---------------- /\_/\ /*--.__/ o o \ / Richard ="= / \ `-.
