Hi again,
Oh ok, well it doesnt sound too good then but i guess we'll see what happens next. Would be interesting to find out how it works after this. As Mike said, it may end up being a book end (ha ha). I have two around that make nice paper weights too.
You're lucky if you can get the batteries for a good price. Since i've had mine i've found them very useful too. It's amazing how handy they come in when you need one. I use two of mine for 'cordless' drill, with a small cable...it's still portable just have to take the battery too. Lots more power then those little tiny sub C NiCd's though.
