I have used this to get onto the internet since July 2009 and had no problems until recently. Now, I suddenly go offline, start looking for the problem (bit like the blind leading the blind) and realise it the little blue light has gone off (again). It is the easiest thing to reconnect but why is it happening now. It is most annoying because I can be in the middle of something quite important to me and because it lets me continue to type my e mail, of course when I go to send it, it wont go and everything I have written is lost and I have to start all over again, relying on my memory to remember what I said in the lost text. My memory of course is not what it used to be.

Maybe you have an auto-de-connect setting when it detects lack of activity over the internet for a given period, like when you are typing a long email, and this setting decides that you don't need to stay on.... I would check on-line for possible causes - you can't be the only one!
