Subj: REPLY TO (NICAD MEMORY BATTERY)

Thank you for spending the time writting the article on ni-CAD batteries. I
found it very interesting, and full of information not found in any of my Model
100 books.
 
I replaced my ni-CAD this summer on the basis that it was over eight years old,
and the information in my computer was too important to wait till the ni-CAD
finally failed to take action. I realise now that this probably save me, until
a conversation with Rick a few months ago I always had the computer on a surge
protector that I simply turned off when I was finnished. I had some where in
the back of my mind that the computer would sense the power drop and switch the
ni-CAD charging circuit back to the AA's. (OOPS) Luckly the ni-CAD did it's job
well. And now I know better.

PS: I have your paper on Cold Start Recovery. I have only had to used it once,
but it was a BIG once. And it worked great. Thanks!
