Does she just yank it out? IMNSHO, I would say to you: remember that Linux comes from a true multi-user heritage from back when 9-track (reel-to-reel) tapes ruled the data center, and were frequently dismounted and mounted. Thus, break the single-user mindset and proper unmount "tapes" when you are finished using them. In GNOME, when you right-click on a USB stick icon there is a choice to "Unmount volume". I'm sure than KDE has something similar. You and your wife should just train yourselves to this new reality. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day.
