I'd always advise people to safely remove their USB's cause otherwise they can fry their motherboards. I've heard it as an urban myth before, but when it happened to a friend of mine in front of me (thanks to the skies it wasn't on mine comp)... I've started doing that. :) Hope this tip helps somebody in the future to save his computer from certain death.. :D A for that last about safely removing.

You guys are fast becoming one of my favourite sites. In answer to Richard above: NTFS is a better solution unless you're only dealing with files under 4GB in size and want to keep the option of connecting your external hard drive to both a PC and a Mac, then FAT32 is preferable.

As long as they serve the purpose and you are able to make out radio buttons from the big red close button - I am fine without the sleek font look. As for the typography 101 session, perhaps some other day! Thanks for the HUGE tip, feeling pretty heavy already, don’t know how to handle such incessant flow of information from your side ;)
