Walt,
I can't help you with an explanation as to why this happened, but I can tell
you that I have had this happen to me three times now since running the last
two firmware betas. Isn't beta testing fun?

Last night, I'd been reading an Audible book. I briefly switched to a text file, then back to
the Audible book. When I pressed the 2 key to resume reading, the BP announced that the default
settings had been made, then said something that I couldn't understand because of the combination
of the high voice pitch and my own hearing loss, but I did manage to hear something about "CF
card" and "press the zero key to reset." Every key press produced the same message
and when I pressed zero, everything came back. Of course, I had to re-establish all of my preferred
settings and reset the clock. I was placed in the Audible file that I'd been listening to when this
first happened and at the correct spot in the book, so that, at least, hadn't been fouled up. My
batteries (the 15-minute rechargeable Ray-O-Vacs that I've used without any problems for several
months) are at 60% charge, so it wasn't a low battery condition.
My question is what would have caused this in the first place? The fact that
I've recovered without any apparent damage to the card or its file structure is
fine, but my technical curiosity has been aroused and I'm simply curious to
know what brought this on.
