Hi Richard,

When you say dropping out, do you mean setting itself to something like
January 1st, 1936, or something? I=B9ve had that experience when I had networ=
k
time enabled and my computer couldn=B9t make the connection.

Subject: [Ham-Mac] G4 Battery Test

My G4-450 AGP has been dropping it time/date. I suspected a bad battery so =
I
pulled it and it still reads about 3.6 volts.  How do  you know if the
battery is good or bad?  It was replaced last year.

This is getting to be a PIA as I was have the time/date synced to Apple via
the network and my dialup connection keeps dropping out and OSX fails to ge=
t
an update and goes crazy.

I just changed back to manual time and will manually use the Network time t=
o
set the clock. =20

I don't really know if I have a bad battery or if it was the dial up
connection failure. Mac OSX sucks big time on giving you an alert that the
connection has failed.
