My Mac + has a problem that looks like a bad connection to my battery or PRAM.
Once every few days or so, I start it up and it's lost the following settings:
time, date, speaker volume, initial map setting, mouse tracking speed.
I replaced the battery: no change.  I know nothing about hardware, and the
electronics people here know nothing about Macs.  I don't subscribe to this
newsgroup (that's why I know nothing about hardware :-) ), so please e-mail.
(Also, I'm too cheap to buy the manual.  Besides, if I did, I would know
something about hardware; see above.)  If there is general interest, I'll 
summarize.  If this is a FAQ, I won't.  Thanks a lot.  (No .sig:  Yaaaaaaay...)
