Hi John et al.

$10 for a 3.6V battery for Macintosh computer (LC in this case) ?

What a lucky guy you are...

My nephew brough one for 30,50 ¬ (nearly same amount of $ by these 
pre-war days *) some month ago here in France (south-east, Grasse, 
near Cannes...)

But, thanks to this list, I too uses the two AA or AAA (depending on 
what was available at home at the time a battery died) trick.
