I get both of those messages too, Richard. Well I don't know, when I put the gps maps on my 5 gb microdrive in the pcmcia slot the Bn is totally flaky. It will simply take a notion as I am taking notes in a session at csun to do a hard reset and interestingly, it pulled this in the session where Mike May was so I asked him about it. Now I pop the card out otherwise heaven only knows what'd be lost. This manual calibration of the battery is a little like buying a 150 thousand dollar Rolls Royce with wind up windows.Mary Ellen Earls ----- Original Message ----- From: "richard Van Driel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 4:29 PM Subject: re: [Braillenote] One more suggestion:
