Richard, Your comments are exactly on target.
I had been advised by a PDI rep to make sure whenever turning on the BN
that the cf card or pcmcia adapter carying it are not inserted.
Aparently a scandisk like function can occur which could potentially
wipe the card before you could stop it. Unsure if true, but again a
little dirty secret no one wants to talk about.
thank you!

And this is not the first time I have seen this behavior.
I have seen several cases where the BN kept insisting that it needed to
"format" the card. I knew enough to tell it "no," but unfortunately it
would seem that Sarah was not even offered a choice.
It is glitches like this that truly concern me, and unfortunately, they
don't often get discussed on this list.
Most of what we see are testimonials that seem to indicate that PDI
products are the best thing since the wheel. In my opinion, all of the
companies in this rather narrow and artificially maintained field should
be more responsive to their customers, I am not just flaming PDI.
My first BN required service three times in under two years. As I said
earlier on this list, would you buy a DVD player from a company if you
had those kinds of problems with it?
You'd pick another company. Unfortunately we who use these specialized
devices are not fortunate enough to have many choices. No matter which
high-priced product we end up with, if we don't get the kind of service
and responsiveness we deserve, we're not hardly in a position to start
from scratch with some other company.

I hope someone can help me with this. I was just looking through the
folders on my CF card and it wasn't seeing one of the folders. So I did
a reset. And, POOF, all my files and folders are gone from the card. I
am sure I shouldn't have reset the BN. This happened once to me before
but I have had my BN serviced since then and I thought everything would
be okay. Is it the card? Does anyone have any suggestions?
