Wow I'd like to get batteries like that. The typical PRAM battery in this town is good for around 4 years, however the only Macs that really can't start without one are very few and in the PowerBook family and a few early Macs. I have machines that have probably gone through 5 PRAM batteries. Some of my Macs need a battery that I need to make my own for due to lack of availability:-) John Carmonne Yorba Linda CA 92886 USA Sent from my MBP -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
