  I only got one hit for "computer memory saver tool"  --->
  www.alldata.com/TSB/05/88057634.html ---->.Automotive Recalls and Technical
  Service Bulletins for 1988 Audi 5000S.

  Searching for "computer memory saver tool" without the quotes found this
  URL ---> http://www.mightyap.com/Data/OTL0899.pdf ---->Servicing Small Cars.
  This is the article about memory savers and airbags.

  Interesting note: Look at the prices for this tool. They vary from $6 to $18
  . . .and the tools all look the same.
