[NTLK] MP 2X00: A new kind of Duracell battery?

[Forrest]

Christian:

That’s easy. Either Super, Mega or Ultra—Optimum.

I would think it would start with Super and go through each, in turn.

Great to see a response from you, although like me these days, I know you are always lurking.

Mahalo,
Forrest
