Your not raining on my parade, or anyone else's -- or at least I don't think you are :-) I'm just telling you my experience. I would welcome the experts views, too. If it's because the box was taken apart and tightened up so everything inside connects better, hence works better, well, that's possible. However, this isn't the first time I've seen postings on the list mentioning better, more reliable operations after a PRAM battery replacement. I too thought that it played a much more minor role -- holding the charge during swaps, etc., which is why I put off doing it..... this has always been a stable computer, but now it is even better. SO maybe the advice is to take it apart, clean everything, replace any worn parts, and put it back together and it will work better. That too makes sense, because almost anything, from cars to computers, work better when well maintained and worn parts are replaced before they break. So let's hear what other have to say. It's an interesting question.
