I interpreted the statement "lock it in place" to be the using the switch on
the bottom. But your mention of that brings up something important... One
must be SURE that the switch is all the way engaged and hasn't accidentally
become partly disengaged. I once put my 130 into my laptop bag the 'wrong
way' (I normally put it in with bottom end DOWN, so the power switch doesn't
accidentally get toggled when I put it in.). Seems the PC Slot switch goes
in the same direction as the power switch... Next time I tried to use the
Newt, I spent an uncomfortable few seconds thinking my 8 MB card had gone
kaput. The switch FELT right, but when I turned it over & looked, I could
see what happened.
