How about two Ramtron FM18L08's? Nonvolatile

tired of cleaning boards that had batteries that leaked all over them.
How long will a supercap keep that much SRAM alive?
Why not use a *big* battery/cell... aren't we talking
about a design that would end up WAY undersized? Even
scaled would leave lots of real estate that you could
install a conventional AA, 9V, etc. battery and forget
about it "forever"
