Ahhh. I have the pro version and knew that it would work...don't like the
program, but it'll do in a pinch.

That was my thoughts too, but when I entered that url in my browser, it
took me to the atnt page. Going to atnt's home page I couldn't find a link
to that page. What "cingularme.com" indicates to me is that my cell
provider is using atnt as their provider.

I trust the battery to last more than a month.

My 9 volt batteries come in a small plastic box made to fit them. They're
stacked one on top of the other and there's no chance that the terminals
will ever touch.

It's best to not put old batteries in a bag...just for that reason. My AAs
and AAA batteries go in the bag, but not the 9v batteries.

They must have been good batteries to do that.

 Thus, we have "Climate Change Science" - which isn't capable of
 explaining anything.
