Which leads into my problem.  A couple of weeks ago when I powered on
my machine (a SE w/ an internal 45 Meg Jasmine drive), the disk didn't
come up.  After waiting a few minutes I switched it off and back on
and it came up fine, but the clock was reset to 0.  The drive has been
slow comming up since then and the clock is always reset.  Could there
be some kind of wierd connection between these problems?  The Mac is
less than a year old so I wouldn't expect the battery to be bad this
soon, but anythings possible.

If it is the battery, where is it, what kind is it, and what kind of
gyrations will I have to go through to get another one?  With my luck
this is probably a 25 cent battery that I can only get through my
friendly neighborhood Apple dealer with his nominal markup of $27.50
:-).

Thanks,
		John
