I agree on this one. Replacing batteries is one of the big problems in
saving boards -- let's not have a multigame that will committ suicide in 10
years.
If the RAM can work with an external battery, and it's just a matter of
having two solder holes for wires where we can add a battery in 10 years,
then it's a great idea.
