From: zippy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Also, I appreciate the heads up on the date and time. When I checked, the computer had reverted back to 1970 - maybe it is time for a new battery. Haven't replaced it since I made the purchase in early 2000. I usually pull the plug each night which may have taken its toll.
That's the problem. You shouldn't be doing that, it drains the battery.
A *much* better idea is to leave it plugged in ... to a UPS unit (which start at under $30).
Also, as of OS X it is no longer necessary -- or even desirable -- to shut down the computer. Simply let it sleep.
