Yeah, I'm disappointed. I did a search after I posted this and found
the very model you were talking about. The idea of a battery operated
tea-kettle sounded so ludicrous that I thought someone might actually
have built one. The one you're talking about isn't a bad idea, I
suppose, if you need an electric kettle.
