[Tfug] OT: Batteries

[Calvin Dodge]

I cast a vote in favor of standard batteries.  That's mostly because of our
astonished delight upon learning that my mom's new cordless phone set uses
standard batteries (so they can be replaced for a few dollars instead of
twenty). I think customers would prefer that, too, if there's a reasonable
chance the batteries will need replacing.
