Radio Shack seems to have dropped the Free Batteries too.
I think they would have made more $$ with a New Phone of the Month
Club. Ben.
PS: You can still get tubes, just more $$$.
The problem with lifetime warranties is that
they're not about the
lifetime of the owner, and they're not about the lifetime of the
product. What it means is "as long as it's a product we're still
selling" (except for those cases where it *really* is the lifetime
of the product.. in which case it means "the warranty is valid until
the product fails").
Sometimes, very rarely, it does happen the other way. The guys at the
local auto parts store tell me about the woman who comes in about every
5 years to have her car battery replaced, free of charge, since she
bought into a promotional deal for replacement batteries "for as long as
you own your car". IIRC, she owns a 1984 Volvo.
