Now I know all of you aren't fortunate enough to live near a Fry's, I just
thought this might be interesting to some people, since I presume these
types of batteries are easy to find around anywhere.  No need paying a
ripoff $20 when you can get the battery for $5.

I'm also guessing that the #1xxxxxx are some store numbers, but the TL-number
is the type of battery.

Ohwell, I'm amazed that they mention the GS at all. Actually, I'm kind of 
happy about it. Obviously they're trying to maximize their sales potential..
They stopped selling the GS a few years ago (it was usually off or had the
sliding Apple screen as they swiped the drives for the Macs often), 
but it's nice to know that whoever makes the ads is intelligent enough to
realize the battery is for the GS too!

Side note: I was always hoping to 'donate' a disk with an FTA program to 
Frys.. i.e. bring it in, stick it in the drive (if it was there, heh), and
leave it as a wonderful demo for the other customers and "sales pitch" for
the GS.. never did it though.
