Sorry about the time here people.  It will be fixed later today.  

In all honesty, how many people have ever had to replace the CMOS battery of a 
motherboard?  You know, the little CR?2032 something battery.  I thought all 
these years that they were being recharged while the system was on and now, 
I'm beginning to think otherwise.  I've had alot of mobo's in my day and 
never, Never, NEVER did I ever have to replace the little silver battery.  
I've done the old IBM recharging type big bulky rectangular cubish type, but 
never a 2032.  Has anyone ever seen one fail in the life of a mobo that 
wasn't because somebody was fiddling around with something they shouldn't 
have been fiddling round with?  I know the little suckers are worth about $20 
a crack too.  And that's where I have to question how new the new battery for 
$20 really is.  

I've done RDATE.  I've done XNTP, I think I've utilized every possible time 
setting program on both sides of the fence.  I hate doing something like 
taking computers apart if I don't have to.  Computers are not automobiles and 
automobiles are much like computers when it comes to the old "If it ain't 
broke, don't fix it" rule.  

I think my little CR-2032 in this old Pentium II 350 has finally bit the 
bullet.  What does the crowd say?
