My hp28S has an annoying tendency to lose all its memory about a week after
changing the batteries.  The 3 times that it happened, I was using Eveready.
The Kodak batteries lasted a long time, but since then, I have been needing
to change the batteries on a regular basis.

A) Could it be a problem with the calculator?
B) Is there an easier way of testing N-cell batteries and how does one go
about it other than sticking them in the HP?
C) Does anyone in Columbus know a good place to get Kodak batteries?
