Hmm, last time I bought a 1/2AA, it cost me about 6 or 7 bucks...not 
dirt cheap, but nowhere near 15.

At any rate, there are a number of PRAM save/restore utilities on the 
Net (check around Info-mac and/or umich, as they're older utilities. 
The various utilities work differently...some have you run a "save" 
utility that modifies the "restore" utility to include your PRAM 
info, others use prefs files/PRAM images, etc. You can set the 
restore utility in the startup items folder, & have it named so it 
runs b4 the NetBSD booter.
