Tony,

>> OK, I've been building computers for the past 35 years :-) 

 Only two years longer than me, then. (I was building Acorn Atoms from kits in late 1981)? I was only *paid* to do it (on and off) for twenty years. :-P

(Aside:? The "Non-rechargable motherboard batteries will explode" is a myth, inasmuch as all the rechargable ones have pins or wires permanently attached to the battery to solder into the motherboard, while the non-rechargables all clip into a "holder" so it's impossible to fit a non-rechargable into a board that trickle-charges unless you're dumb enough to solder pins/wires onto the battery yourself...)
