clock battery failure in Mac's

[Hinchingbrooke School <Hinchingb-pess@BBCNC.ORG.UK>]

Battery failure in old Macs used to be inconvenient - losing date and time
and settings.
A failure in an LC475 for example seeems much more serious. Mine simply had
a total failure - blank screen and alarming chimes when failing to start.
All it needed was a battery, but my heart nearly stopped (and I'm used to
"normal" system crashes.
I strongly recommend you check out the battery NOW and keep a spare with you!
