I am interested in changing my fan, but I think I'll look for a replacement fan from someone else. A friend of mine told me that Radio Shack was once known to purchase cosmetic defects and other marginal electronic parts and pawn the off as top-quality devices. An old officemate, out of ignorance, purchased a walkman for in-office (gentle) use. It lasted a good solid 2 months -- some kind of record for Radio Shack products! I trust Radio Shack enough to buy their battery holders -- that is all. Don Gillies, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Illinois 1304 W.
