Actually I think they do, or at least one that recharges separately so you
can carry it with you.  Haven't needed one, so haven't bothered checking
the details.

One of the missing screws turned up on my computer table, so now there's
only one missing.  And fortunately, there's enough redundance in the design
that even with only two screws it still held together pretty well.  The
local clockmaker Vicky's been sorta apprenticing with found a screw that
almost fit, but alas it fell out again.  Oh well...

King James, American Standard, and something called "Literal
Version" that I've no idea the provenance of, but looked interesting. 
I wanted a New International Standard but they didn't have it, more's the
pity.

CBIP: The entire Oz series written by L. Frank Baum, courtesy Project
Gutenberg (I think they have some of the Ruth Plumly ones too, but haven't
downloaded any as yet.)  I suspect I'd have liked these better when I was a
kid, but they're still cute.  

Bye!
