If you are lucky you might get that with a new battery until time takes 
over, a little thing called entrophy. I think you might get a few good 
runs for a while but if you use the machine intensely this will decrease 
the life. I do a lot of math calculations on my machines for some of the 
research I have done in the past, I have to use a desktop and hope for 
no power surges to keep from losing a lot of work, zip disks are great! 
Saved me more times I can count.
