$99.
It has a AA battery, or is it AAA?  Anyway, it's something ordinary I can
change myself, when the time comes.

What does the rainbow cost? I have the Colorino which doesn't work very well
anymore as the battery connection is bad as it is over 10 years old. Very
interested.

I have the Rainbow.  I like it.  I've tried it on things I know the color
of, and it agrees with what I know.  
I just got a shirt with a floral print, and I had fun putting the Rainbow
different places and hearing the different colors.
It's supposed to tell the colors of LED lights, but I haven't figured out
how to make it do that.  Does anyone know?

I'm looking forward to hearing more about the rainbow reader too. My color
teller doesn't seem as accurate as it was, maybe it's wearing out or I
wonder if they could be cleaned. I have had it for 3 years. It's doing some
of what Sandra described telling other colors that item isn't at times.
