Battery gained 489 days
=======================

When the Silicon Graphics IRIS Indigo workstation starts then it prints
- among others - how long it  was off. It simply counts days when being
on the time-keeping battery.

It is something like:

-----------
Warning: Battery gained 489 days.

It means I didn't powered on the machine for 489 days! This is not good
at all.  Bad for the  precise battery (I'm not  sure if they  are still
being produced) and for sure it is bad for my mental health, too.

The IRIS  Indigo cannot run  any modern  stuff and services  and cannot
access 99.9% of the modern Internet  (except the gopherspace an so) but
still can do a lot of traditional UNIX stuff.

Yet, it is quite fast with its MIPS R3000 CPU (33 MHz). People run 8bit
machines on much lower speeds and still are happy.


Written on the IRIS Indigo, of course.
