Yeah...I could work up a reference on the practice of
safe card slot insertion, but somehow, the cadence of
the statement makes it "not work".
What makes this even funnier is that I've put all
sorts of cards in my Newt. Everything from a ram card
from my AT&T EO (it wouldn't fit) to my iomega click
drive and this bluetooth card. Only now do I have a
problem...go figure!
