1. Raptor, Would you prefer that i refer to the others as "destinations"?
2.2k_dummy,Oh how i wish at least one of them were a laptop --but no they are all desktops.
3.GX1_Man, Yes they are all desktops.However given that fact what concerned me was that of all of them scanned only 2 gave that value. The other 5 if i remember correctly gave no value beside the item (which i assumed to mean all was fine). Hense my question on the 2 with the "no battery" especially since as far as i know most if not all recent computers do contain a battery.Given how complete that "Everest " scan seems to be i did believe that it was in refference to the CMOS battery.Thank you all for your replies. truenorth
