Ack!  I'm terribly sorry.  I should have pointed that out.  None of
you would buy batteries without checking the voltage, would you??
I hope no one already ran out and stuffed 18V into their HP's.....

Whatever you do, DON'T ask the Radio Shack salesmen if you have the
right one!  (I saw one of those #&*^$ demons sell a poor ignorant
woman a pack of DSDD diskettes to go feed to her AT after she told
him that she knew it had a high-density drive!  Makes my blood
boil...)
