[NTLK] suffering from the "bootstrap problem" and much more!

Actually I am suffering from
"bootstrap problem" but an even worse
problem has arisen.

My MP wouldn't turn on last night. Thinking the
batteries were dead, I plugged
in the adapter--- but it was the wrong adapter!

I plugged the adapter for my scanner into my
Newt. I've heard you can easily fry an MP that
way.

I may have to buy another one. In the meantime,
I'm going to try the stuff for on the FAQs.

How do you get drivers into the MP?

Thanks,

Mike
