Hi, Jim. Making a backup of your flash card is probably a good idea. I do
that myself. But again; do you leave your flash card in your unit when
turning it off or on?

Beth, Last week, with no warning, I lost the equivalent of twelve million
characters from my flash card, having recently very smoothly upgraded to
six point one. No warning was given that the twenty-two folders were
being erased, so that, the next time I tried to access them, it was a real
shock. I lost jokes, poems, sayings, lots of hymns, prayers, some French
novels, a Mozart piano concerto (for the second time), lists of electronic
book websites, etc., etc., etc.
What to do? In both cases, my disappeared folders and your missing
chapters, make two copies of them, either on separate flash cards or
within the BrailleNote itself, giving them slightly different file
names. But ... think a little. If these things didn't happen, what
would be the point of this wonderful BrailleNote list?
Incidentally, to make matters worse, two days ago, in putting right
another fault with the help of a techie, all my 227 e-mail addresses were
erased.
So, if you feel it might be useful, or just friendly, passing on your
e-mail address off list, so as not to generate unnecessary list traffic,
do please feel free to do so. I am particularly anxious to contact
Richard and Sarah.
Anyway, Beth, those were my thoughts for what they were worth.
Warm regards,
Jim Taylor.
