Radio shack hasn't made a decent talking watch now in about a year, just
that flimsy plastic thing that falls apart, I like that heavy dycast or what
ever it was they had a couple years ago though I found another source for
them, good thing I've killed about 5 of those little crappy $15 ones they
have now, BTW, the Spanish version of the same thing is $5 and that annoys
me most of all.
