Going back to topic, if you go to the Circuit City web site and search on
"nexxtech" (note--that's two "x"es) you'll find a wide array of Chinese
made flashlights (incandescent, fluorescent, and LED) and laser pointers
and kitchen timers and thermometers and clocks and other oddments very
cheap--they seem to be having some kind of clearance as some the stuff is
marked down 60% or more. Even a hand-cranked lantern. Web-only specials
but if you buy 25 bucks worth there's free shipping. Seems to actually be
a real company too.
