Recently, I have on two occasions with Joyride (2229+, 2232) pressed ctl-alt-erase in order to "restart" Sugar. Both times. when Sugar came up, the Journal screen told me 'Your journal is empty'. If "unwanted emptying of the Journal" were to be experienced by others (in addition to me), then I think this problem should be a SERIOUS blocker to 8.2. mikus (G1G1)
