Hi all,

Apologies if this posts twice.  I wasn't sure if I sent it.

Radio Shack IS expensive.  However, the staff at my factory owned 
Cumming store is pretty good and knowledgeable in general.  They do have 
a pretty cool technology for their power adapters whereby you can 
exchange the tips so they'll fit just about anything.  Just be sure you 
remember which way to insert the tip, so the polarity won't be backwards 
and you cross circuit something.

Sincerely,

Ron
