Almost like the OneTouch 3. Standby (or shut down drives to save power) 
sometimes leaves the drive *unable* to power up again and access files. 
You have to unplug it, then plug it back in again (meaning the power 
cord), then wait for it to "unmangle" the 1-2 files that where in an 
open/unsaved state before it went into standby. Then there is its backup 
software. V2 backed up "everything". V3... only backs up documents, 
archives and executables, which doesn't include Firefox bookmarks, 
settings files, some save games, and a whole host of other things. So, 
if you had to restore, half your applications wouldn't work, since the 
"critical" files you actually need from them are all missing in the 
backup...

Yeah. Some companies seem to have their own internal logic, with respect 
to what they "define" as "user experience"... Oddly, it never seems to 
quite match my definition. :p
