[NTLK] nimh batteries

DOUG DON"T PANIC

I'm in Canada too. Digikey has some weird thing going with UPS and FedEx where all of the
brokerage and shipping is covered. THe price that you pay  is all inclusive. It shows up on your
doorstep the next day and there is no more to pay.

My company orders stuff from Digikey all of the time, for years. It's not a problem.
