    I'll be changing mine every July 4th. Pick an easy to remember date.
    Like others have said, use the changeouts for remotes & whatnot.

    Has anyone tried rechargeables? They don't leak, right? They just go dead & then you juice them up again.
    I've used them for years in my cameras. Eventually they can't be recharged anymore but I've never seen one leak.

    Quoted from SealClubber:

    Simplest terms I can say is NVRAM works kinda like a thumb drive.

    For not so simplest terms see:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-volatile_random-access_memory
    Kind of pricey initially, but I'd imagine well worth the investment if hanging on to a machine(s) indefinately.
