I Live in the UK so any advice on where to buy will probably useless to =
you, but for any UK peeps out there, 'RS components' sell a range of =
VCI'S you can even buy the paper VCI strips in some department stores, =
(they are used to stop Silver cutlery from tarnishing).

(I buy my packs of 5 paper strips from a Local shop for about =A34 (~$6) =

electronic contacts and similar.

Or try http://www.cromwell-phoenix.com I know nothing about these people =
but they are US based, give them a try?
