As this list is full of folks who've dealt with the
'ravages of time' on
their collections, I was looking for things to protect against.
My first thought was the pulling the battery, but someone mentioned that.
That leads to another notion that I don't recall anybody mentioning.
Assuming we solve all the 'ravages of time' issues, then we need to think
about another issue. As an ornery question, should we not pack along with
the machine a stone tablet? Engraved on the tablet is the following:
"This computer and operating system are not Y2.1K compliant!"
With no battery, the machine is going to present the date prompt. What
will happen when they enter '1-04-2100'?
