Description ra1n 2003-09-09 09:49:28 UTC 
Will be much easier than clicking on their icon with the right mouse 
button and selecting the eject voice.
This will enhance the desktop usability, for the user is more easy to put 
the icon in the trash in order to umount and eject them, than searching in 
the rmb menu for the eject/umount voice

Sorry, but I can't really agree with this one. How on earth will a
user think that dragging a floppy icon into the trash bin will unmount
it? This is crazy. I understand this is the way it works on the Mac,
but I really don't think people will associate deleting stuff and
unmounting stuff with each other. Usability people?
