It offers no explanation whatsoever. I don't generally see it just as
it restarts, since it's usually off, but I hear the chime and have a
look. It goes thru with loading everything in, pops up the dialog boxes
showing the cards & all, and that's it.
The first time it happened when I noticed it was when I heard it chime,
and found a note I'd written in NotePad had disappeared. As it was the
last thing I'd done on the Newt, it appears to have characteristics of
a hardware reset, where the last thing you did is forgotten.

However, it's impossible for it to be a hardware reset, as I carry my
Newt in one of those black leather fliptop jobbies, and the screen
cover is always folded back in the open position, protecting the reset
button from any possible accidental contact. And, as I said, it gives
me no explanation or indication that it even knows it reset itself.

It's puzzling.
