don't be so upset with the car. if it is the alternator it's a common replacement part. when is the last time you changed it?

if you haven't changed it since you've owned the car the owner before you probably didn't either. easily replaced.

i posted to the above topic.

i had the same symptoms as you and it was my battery terminals. exactly as you described.

but to me it sounds like your alternator is definitely out. once you put a new battery in, it will kill it very soon.

and yes, while the car is at idle, if you pull the negative battery terminal and the car dies. it's a tell-tale sign of needing a new alternator. if the car doesn't die, you probably have another problem.

remember, your car is still a 94. it requires more maintenance then say a 97-up prelude.
