Re: Why is my mmc2 card REAdONLY?

Naranek,
The card became faulty after I removed it from a PC USB port without "safely removing" it. I hope that I did only soft damage to the card, and not hard damage. What do you think?

Re: n800: Lost some Directories, need to recover

GeraldKo,
I'm pretty sure that backup/restore repairs the true internal memory of the N800, not the 32MB card I added to it. That's the 23MB card that has the problem. I hate to try your suggestion,...

Re: AbiWord for Chinook and Diablo - Open Beta

I'd be happy if abiword worked for me on N800 (chinook), in ANY file format. Currently, abiword hangs quickly no matter what I'm doing, and the app has to be killed.
