Thanks Herbert.

I tried my two favourite online shops (greathobbies and hoby-hobby). I 
was looking for single cells, but the (two) hobby shops stock only packs 
(except one 3.7V cell which is not conveniently shaped...).... I'll 
investigate other hobby shops though.... I came up empty on those too.

Any other ideas, anyone? The Sparkfun offering is pretty much exactly 
what I want, so I'll give it a couple more days of interest, and then go 
with them, probably.

(FWIW, Herbert, I *did* get a couple of cells from 'Active Surplus' but 
they are 'pulls' from Palm devices, and of dubious quality)...
