[gps-talkusers] advisory about the 8GB storage card

For those of you who invest in an 8 GB compact flash card, please be aware of the following. I know from personal experience that having a card with this large capacity is wonderful but devistating if one does not follow proper procedures. I have never had a problem with a 1, 2 or 4 GB card. I believe the 8GB is a bit more temperamental.

Warning: The 8GB compact flash card works very well as a mass storage device, however, it may be erased and permanently damaged if you press reset while the card is in the BrailleNote or VoiceNote. You must remove the 8GB card before performing a reset. Failure to do so may result in complete loss of all data on the card as well as a compact flash card which no longer functions. HumanWare recommends that all storage cards be removed before performing a reset, no matter their capacity.
