Re: Clock battery and floppy lubrication

The clock has never worked. I know about the time issue. Not even setting it to times the Lisa clock can recognize worked, even after I got it. I get an error message that the time is not set (or something similar) every time I turn the computer on. I assume the batteries were dead or the clock doesn't work.
