This notion that 'In the absence of anything binding the Board procedurally, then the Chair would be able to manage the Board as she sees fit' is incorrect. Even if she had the power to call you out of order, her behaviour indicates her unsuitability to hold the position. I'll be glad when they are no longer needed at all. Stick to your guns, and call the Chair to order. I'm with paults, 'I'll be glad when we can do updates directly from a computer - while I've had no specific Kemper problems with USB sticks, I've had sticks fail over the years. If the Integral USB is not recognised, turn it 180º, so it is the other way around in the socket.' When you plug the device into the USB sockets of you PC make sure that the contacts are matched up so that the device is plugged in the correct way. also they stated: The Integral USB Flash Drives only have pin contacts on one side of the USB connector. 'There can always be a problem with the flash memory and Integral recommends reformatting in the case of a system no recognizing the memory stick. of course, it's much easier to get around on a KPA formatted stick since its cleaned up with the appropriate directories. Also, I never had an issue with backing up and restoring from a previously used stick that hadn't been reformatted. The system worked well, although a little lag time in menu responses, and successfully recognized all the sticks.

Still, there is the possibility of corrupting a memory stick by interrupting it during a read/write. so it was my bad for thinking I'd interrupted the format process, but I actually hadn't. Though one thing I noticed was the system requires you to remove and reinsert the stick after formatting. The closest I got was interrupting a format process, where the system didn't recognize the stick afterwards. I pulled a few sticks today just to see if I could get one to fail.
