Re: rent-a-bod

[Wright Frazier <khelek>]

Ya need the appropriate thing to get the appropriate units back.  I'd guess
folks are 'batteries' since you 'mystically' get back those units after
8 or 12hrs, but don't get them at anyo ther time(i.e. not a continuous
renewal).  As someoen pointed out, this is also how folks know how long
8hrs is, because they feel the 'juice meter' suddenly click up.
