I can set the date in linux, I think... Something's holding the right
time ("system time"?) but maybe that goes away after a restart. I'll
have to get a new battery soon I guess... RadioShack #23-026 - $10.99.
I haven't messed with the PRAM or the cuda switch. What is the cuda
switch exactly? Like a super-hard reset?
Thanks for the help,
