Removing before a reset is good practice, but I have never lost any data if I did not remove. In fact, on the mPower, you used to have to reset with a thumb drive plugged in before said drive would be detected. Windows 7 does have a remove feature, but it is harder to get to. The easiest way I have found is to go to the drive in the "computer" icon, right click it, and select "eject" (even if it is not a disk, this will do the same as the "safely remove" feature). On the bn family, nothing special needs to be done. However, I have noticed that the light on a thumb drive will blink for a few seconds after something is done on the drive. Therefore, to be on the safe side, I wait about five or ten seconds before removing any drive, thumb drive or not. > Also, still not totally clear about the case. Does it come with one? Yes, a nice one with magnets that hold the flap securely closed but are not as loud and annoying as velcro. The side flaps, behind which are the power switch, audio and power jacks, reset and record buttons, and mini usb port are secured with velcro, and that velcro does not hold together too well (the flap on the right side of my case no longer stays closed at all). Overall, though, it is a secure case that still lets you remove the apex if you have to, for example to replace the battery or read the braille serial number. There is even a pocket on the outside for cards or flash drives. I use it to hold my iPod Touch, connected to the apex via bluetooth, so it is like having two computers in one. > -- > richard > > ___ > Replies to this message will go directly to the sender. > If your reply would be useful to the list, please send a > copy to the list as well. > > To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to > [email protected] > To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit > http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote > >
