Further on the battery front. Sony specs seem to say that the Sony SR44W
may now be the best batteries for our OMs. High drain design with a nice
flat discharge curve
<http://www.sony.net/Products/MicroBattery/sr/spec.html>. I know John H.
sent some of these with something I bought from him a while ago. You do
not want the SR44SW, which is the low drain version.
