   On the W95 Acer is a Program I really liked (and can't think of its Name   
   as I'm typing).   
   I've found another Program with the same name for the XP but it didn't   
   have the same functions as the one Acer included with that notebook.   
      
   The Program had a World Map that showed the TIME at 6 World locations (iirc)   
   the user could choose, and it was as accurate as the Computer's Clock was   
   set to.   
      
   I got the CR1220 battery today.   
      
   Last night I called around and found Walgreens had it available for a good   
   price.   
      
   Today before going to Walgreens We went to the K-Mart Stores that were   
   being Closed, and I looked for a CR1220 battery but the stores We visited   
   didn't have one.   
      
   The closest size all their stores had was a CR1216 and ttbomk that ain't   
   close enough to fit in the battery holder on the laptop.   
      
   When I left the last K-Mart Store (in Kentucky) I saw a Big Lots Store   
   across the street.   
   They didn't have any Button Batteries ther, but a Sales Lady said   
   Radio Shack used to have them.   
   There are still a couple RS Stores in Louisville, KY, and I told the Lady   
   one of them was on my way home to Indiana and I would stop by there.   
      
   Radio Shack had the battery, $5.99, a higher price than Walgreens had   
   told me over the phone last night, so I went to a Walgreens across the   
   street from that RS Store and got one for $5.49 .   
      
   Part of my lineage is Scottish and I do try to be thrifty.   
   Some call it being a Cheapskate.   
      
    BR> to repeat! I will stick to my desktops thank you :)   
      
   I'll say AMEN! to that!   
      
   Desktops are easier to fool with, although I didn't mind learning how   
   that notebook was put together.   
      
   I wouldn't had tried it without the Service Manual.   
      
   I had tried opening the Case before but couldn't find out how to get   
   the sections apart.   
      
   I learned that several things have to be removed first, such as the Keyboard,   
   and then those screws on the bottom could be removed to separate the top   
   and bottom pieces.   
      
    BR> ... I hunt flies with a sledge hammer....and get em!!!   
      
   Reading that makes me think about not sending the check for the Postage   
   to You yet............ HMMM   
      
   I'm not that cheap, I will get a ROUNDTUIT.........
