4/2     If I suspend a computer, can I change the battery? In another word,
        does the DRAM get refresh from the battery and if so, how many
        seconds do I have do change it?
        \_ No, yes, probably zero.
           Cool notebooks have a "bridge battery" for this kind of thing,
           but I haven't seen a bridge battery in years.
        \_ Use hibernate instead.
        \_ You used to be able to do this on PB/iBooks. You had something
           like 10 secs to swap out your batteries.
           \_ Still do, at least on my 1 GHz 15" PB G4. It's a very nice
              feature.
           \_ Just tried on my Toshiba (5 seconds). It failed. :(
        \_ just plug it in!
