In Detail - Wright Street Car: Is it a bird, is it a plane, or, er, a hovercraft, or a maybe a train? Well, whatever it is, obviously Wright and Volvo think it is the future ('ftr' being texting shorthand for the word 'future'). With a 'Wow' factor of, well, 'quite-a-lot', the styling of this vehicle is, surely, more advanced than the motor car(!)(?). The 'ftr' system is an example of the new public transport concept of Bus Rapid Transit, in this case using articulated buses developed by the Wright Group and Volvo for First Group plc in conjunction with infrastructure upgrades, provided by the local authority.

they probably changed to the replacables because in the old days they want south about 4 times a year, but these days , i have to say , haven't had to replace a cmos battery in probably the last 8 years... and i work in IT..
even old mother boards i pull from a storage shelf, or old servers that haven't been running for a year... plug em in, might get a cmos reset message, but usually the battery will simply recharge with use...
