I found a super cap on an old PC motherboard so give me a few hours and I'll come back with some news.

Thanks to everybody for all your information. Really Great ;-)
By the time you get done messing with a super-cap, you might find (as I did) that a diode-protected lithium coin cell might do exactly what you wanted the super-cap to do, easier and possibly cheaper (with an occassional replacement). I just wish I could find NiMH coin cells in similar size to the lithium coin cells...for cheap anyways...
