computers

[Jim Kinnear]

NOW JUST A SEC. . .
The battery not only saves the time for you, but it also saves all the
settings that tell your computer that it _is_ a computer!! ie:" You are a
pentium, not a toaster. . . etc"

I tried to replace the battery once, with the computer OFF, for safety, and
lost the BIOS information,
I had a terrible time fixing it, and lost the data, programs, since some
tech guy had to start from scratch.
BE CAREFUL!!!!
Take the computer to a professional, after all, would you let your car
mechanic regulate your Steinway. . . ?
