I just purchased a new external USB memory card reader. In the installation and use instruction it instruct to double click the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon before unistalling the card. After the installation the mentioned icon show up in the task bar. Before installing this new memory card I never notice this icon even that I own an external USB/FW HD, external USB/FW DVD Writer and another external USB memory card reader. Needles to say that I alway removed the devices without clicking anything.
My question is: Since this devices (USB/FW) claim to be Hot Swapable why the need of the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon? Why I did not have the icon before? Now it show for all the external devices. Will it create problems by not clicking the icon?
