Nah, don't stress over the battery. I get them free from work. Used, but
it will keep the NG alive for a few hours more than it stays up now.
I don't plan to invest too much more in keeping the Paris NG alive. When
I adopted it I loaded it on a machine which I already had, on a net connection
I already had. I have since bought a UPS for it, but that was also to keep
my other websites and my email server online, so it wasn't just for Paris.
Mind you I did fork out (from memory) $160 ish US to upgrade Chuck's existing
NG license to the latest version so I could run it on Linux, as well as forking
out $99US for an extra 2 user NG license to use as the backup NG server,
so that we can keep our history if the HDD in the main m
