Thank you, from both of YOUR posts I actually learned something. The 
reason I asked is that I do a factory reset frequently as part of slowly 
learning to use this crap. I do a reset and then follow a short list of 
necessary setup steps to elliminate the most nauseating defaults like 
autocorrection designed for illiterate monkeys, and short rings that are 
useless while sitting in a tractor for example.
