Two days ago my wife noticed that the automatic date function in
the WordProcessor was a couple of days slow.  So I try to set the
clock.  I can set it with Preferences but SetClock gives Battery
Backed up Clock Not Found with either the save or reset options.

Is this the fabled clock virus or is my 2000s battery dead too?
