Someone posted here that Real Goods (Ukiah, Ca; 800-762-7325)
sells 1100 mAH AA's for $8/cell. 

While the NiMH pack in my Toshiba laptop is great, I've had absolutely
no luck in getting anywhere near the rated capacity out of a bunch
of Gold Peak NiMH AA's I bought at the Trenton Computer Festival this year.
