If preventing data loss should be job 1 for HumanWare, it should also be job 1 for Microsoft and anyone else who makes anything computer related. I have had large files zap right out of my bn, but I have also had large files zap out of my computer. I've probably lost more data from my computer than I have from my bn. There's just no avoiding the need to back up because these things do fail.

It disturbs me greatly, because I can see where it could be a real hardship, especially if it represents a whole semester of work, an important job related presentation, etc. I think to just tell folks to back up their work is an unacceptable response. Suppose this losss of data results in a failing grade, a job loss, or a monetary loss? It seems like finding a solution that will prevent this should be job 1 for Humanware.

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.
