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. <SKM> 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!
