   Let's take a look at my Cruser Glide.   
      
   It was easily ejected, so I could move on to the next experiment.   
   It was used to distribute Windows Updates to three machines, so   
   it's been ejected and moved a number of times (two OSes times three   
   machines)

   but can still be ejected. It is in the Safely Remove meu.
