40. you don't store data in a battery
Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 11:38 AM by GregD
You can (and do), however, lose the settings for the hard drive identification if the battery chokes. And on a 14-yo Dell, who knows what drive is in there. I can well imagine needing to call and get the "drive type" number for CMOS setting when you reboot.

However, the piece that is missing from Kim's and the NY Times story, is the cheat Sheet. I want to know more about that aspect of the story and why it is disregarded.
