They're still about that price - $4.60 each now at Micro Tools.  I 
doubt that Becca will be interested in shooting the OM-1 once her 
class is over so, even though they don't have a long life, the Wein 
cell might still be the best bet for now.  I'm going to be in the big 
city tomorrow to have lunch with a friend so I think I'll drop by a 
camera store and see if they have the Weins in stock.

Later,
Johnny
