USB is a hot-plug technology so no harm done, not to the devices anyway. I have experienced PC lock-ups on both a PC running Windows and a Mac when I detached my Visor's cradle, but I think this is more a sign of faulty drivers. Everything still works, just that there was a software hiccup. Mabuhay. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
