Is there any difference when storing older laptops that had PRAM batteries and the newer Apple models that don't? On the older models it was good to store them with a battery attached and charged (debatable as to level of charge). I would think that it would be best to store modern PowerBooks or iBooks without any battery installed, with the only ill effect being the loss of day and date information.
Am I correct? Not that I ever plan on being without my PowerBook long enough for it to matter.
