Tried to do a routine restart (for the Airport network) and my G5,

off the disc- without replacing the system and went to the spinner
again. Is it worth it to replace the original Pram battery? (2004)
I did not notice a date problem but am racking my brains to figure
out
what is going on.
Start by running disk utility and do a disk repair on the HD.
Thanks, Bruce & Clark. Replaced the Pram battery, hard drive,
reinstalled OSX next step is to 'box' the old drive for recovery.
(then get applejack)
