Bruce, what do you mean by "especially if it sleeps?" I keep my iBook plugged in and sleeping most of the time. The battery is almost shot but it hasn't lost time and date yet. (It is the original battery from July '01 dual usb 500.) Are you saying keeping it asleep most of the time is worse than turning it off and keeping it unplugged most of the time? Thanks.

The main battery IS the PRAM battery on a clamshell, and this will happen when the battery is shot, especially if it sleeps. -- Bruce Johnson This is the sig who says 'Ni!' -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
