OK ... I did call Tech Support here in the US, but thought I would share anyhow.
Earlier this morning at school, I tried to access my address book and the BN just froze. I did a reset and got something about bad clusters. It happened again when I tried to get into my email. So I called Pulsedate Humanware Tech Support and talked to Chris. He says it's a hard disk problem. Lovely. :P So, I thought well I can nurse this BN along until the semester ends--then I'll have no choice but to send it in for repairs anyhow, so might as well get the hrd disk looked at. I can live with that. Then, I remembered that I had some important data on my flash disk in my 'general' folder, so I moved not copied, the stuff to one of my flash cards. Now, voila! I am able to get into my inbox. Admittedly, it's taking a while to delete an email, and I'm not sure what's going to happen. It's just one of those strange things. I'm assuming I'll need to get that flash disk looked at anyhow. I just had to write. Thanks for listening.
