    PILA-review by a non-believer

    I disagree that the CR123s win on the time issue. You still have to take the time to purchase your CR123s - either an online order (and wait for delivery) or a visit to the store (at much greater cost of both time and money of course).

The "twist to turn on" would be similar, but instead of a threaded head which needs to be twisted numerous times to access multiple brightness levels...

    PDF of Arc 4+ instructions

    ZWF - yeah, I found that link. I'm pretty sure that the link that I have (to the file Arc4newInstructions.pdf in some guy's home account at www.acsu.buffalo.edu) matched the page of instructions sent with the Arc4, formatting, logo and all. Although now I'm starting to think I'm remembering...

    PDF of Arc 4+ instructions

    I have a bookmark that used to point to a PDF file of the Arc 4+ instructions. As might be expected, the link no longer works. Does anybody still have a copy of this file? I lost the original hard-copy instructions that came with my Arc 4..
