If you are fastidious about keeping fresh batteries in your Model T and never letting them run down, and/or you're always connected to a wall wart it makes no difference. If you're like me and get busy with other things and go back to the model T you set aside it's a pleasant surprise to go back days or weeks later and see that the RAM file system is still intact. It's one thing I think Kyocera/Tandy got exactly right. The RAM filesystem is a filesystem. It deserves its own independent long term power supply. -- John.
