@twylo that's why I only collect computers without a battery-backed RTC. That way they don't know how old they are, so they don't fail.

@twylo I removed a dodgy battery from the board on my Acorn RISC PC and relocated a new one out if the way if the PCB with some wires. If it leaks, it won’t kill the computer.
