Well, Howard, I'm glad I got it back!!
If I could pinpoint exactly what I did that caused the temporary
malfunction, I'd feel better about it, but that may come through time.
It doesn't occur all that often (probably once every few months or so), but
it's just a bit sdcary and disconcerting when it happens.
