You know the thing; bong! rattle of drive, then nothing. Classic PRAM battery death. Frankly, it had only lasted two years and I was just a bit ticked off, but there it is... The point is that the dealer Apple dealer who had sold me that machine (Trams in Victoria- hugely friendly, good price, they do Compaq as well so they will survive...) was very helpful and sold me a battery without trouble. However... They needed to know that it was me and they asked me if I'd bought the machine there. Maybe it was just for marketing information. I forgot to ask if they would have sold the battery to a complete stranger (heavens! The very thought...) I suspect they would. -- Peter
