Browsing the shelves at Radio Shack today I noticed a really nice,
slim black penlite. In fact ... it was TOO slim! About the thickness
of your average fountain pen; much slimmer than any other penlite.

After looking at the package I was about to put it back on the rack when
something struck me: those batteries look VERY VERY slim! Sure enough;
they aren't triple-A. They were marked AAAA, and the flashlight package
didn't say where to get replacement batteries :-) The RS people sure
didn't know!
