Thanks Clug!  Someone at Free Geek told me in very certain terms that 
Micro Center would not have resistors, but their webpage seems to be 
telling me he was wrong.  So thanks for that tip.

Another thing -- after reading the comments on the video I shared, I think 
battery testing might be a little more complicated and I need to have more 
resistors.  I need to do more reading!  It's OK, though, because I'm 
trying to learn a little about electronics, mostly just to be more 
generally knowledgable.

If anyone can recommend a good basic intro electronics book, I'm 
interested.

Mike
