Paul, I absolutely agree.
When I got my MP2100, it came with a 16MB card (19,xMB in fact).
Whenever I want to kill that card, I just have to pull a reset without
taking it out before.
I never had any problems with my 4MB cards though, but I also eject them
before resetting the Newt.
It's a shame if you're two hours away from your backup, and in strong need
for that dictionary you had, just two minutes ago...
I strongly recommend CardEject, it's a very nice and reliable program.
Regards,
Oliver :)
