You mean they didn't stock it?

I had a good laugh the other day when I went in to find a standard PC
CMOS battery (the little blocks used in practically every PC thru
486's)... and it was a special order part... but two out of the 3 Mac
battery styles (large AAish and small 1/2 AA) were standard stock and had
pleanty on the racks.

I suppose at least it is nice that ONE store doesn't think the Mac is an
inferior product, not worthy of carrying parts for it (they also have a
nice supply of ADB cables... only they call them S-Video :-) )
