Okay, my turn!
I use my GS quite a bit, and I am still on my first battery.  I have had it
since the latter part of 1986 and have had no problems!  I am waiting though,
since the last year, I have not been using it nerely as much and have gone one
month without ever turning it on since a keyboard had been stolen!

But, at this time my control panel still sets up the old 128k ramdisk and the
clock is still on the money!
