Hi Paul, and List, I am one of those people who has had trouble with reformatting issues. I can tell you that it is not a Windows CE issue, but it is just one of those weird computer things that happens to some people and not others. I used to think the "cannot run this version of Keysoft" thing was also one of those things, but it happened to me for almost no reason the other night. I have come to believe that computer equipment, including the BrailleNote family of products, will suffer loss of data and formatting issues, no matter what we end-users think should happen, it's just one of those things. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Henrichsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2004 11:44 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Format Snair; Narrowly Escaped
Hi, Rhonda. I have never put in a flash card unless it has something on it I want to read or listen to. I just keep everything on the 48 mb flash disk. I think I have 26 mb left or something like that. But I wonder why you can leave yours in and not have a problem and others do. At 7/23/2004, you wrote: >You know what I think? Something must vary.
