Actually, my next visit is to Kansai.  But if I'm 
unsuccessful, some future visit might be to Kanto.

I'm not very desperate for it.  If I were, I can order it 
now from Amazon USA.  So, I have some time to hunt around. 
Knowing what it's called will help...

I'm not stereotyping or anything, but staff at computer 
shops seem less tolerate of mispronunciation of katakana 
than say....oh....a duty free shop.  Ok, not a fair 
comparison...that's like opposite ends of the spectrum!  But 
staff at computer shops tend to give up more quickly and 
say, "I've never heard of that!".  *ha*  I suppose not just 
Japan, but here in Hong Kong, too!
