Dear WAMUGgers
About a week ago my G4 PowerBook 15" 1.67 10.4.8 developed a

the power, it immediately shuts down and the date/time reverts

It may also require a 'forced' restart to get it going again. It

new battery, replaced under warranty in December 2006 and

wayward batteries), tell
Given that it's forgetting the date I'd say it's got a dud PRAM
battery.
If I put it to sleep, either by closing it up or executing the menu
command (don't you just love the use of the word 'executing' in such
a context!) and keep it on the power supply, it wakes up hale and
hearty. No 'execution'! Would a flat PRAM battery show this behaviour?
