You know, everyone talks about how much rechargeables save you over the long haul. What they don't tell you is what else happens over the long haul: they get lost. I bought a pack of perhaps 20 AAs less than 6 months ago and can't find a single one around the house. What with teenagers, their friends and their bevy of controllers and remotes I am not surprised. The problem is of a different kind when I use them exclusively. They are never ready when I am.
