        The closest analogy I can make concerning what a PRAM battery
is would be that it's the Mac version of the PC's BIOS settings. The
Mac keeps various setting data in a small RAM area and the battery
retains the info. WIthout the info, the Mac generally won't even
boot until the battery is replaced.
