I have friends who use the Remove Hardware program located in the System
Tray to always remove a USB cable from their computer (connected to their
camera, external hard drive, whatever). Is it in fact necessary to 'safely'
remove a USB plug if the 'process' is finished?
For example, at the moment I have a printer that is not connected to the
computer. Anytime I want to print something (not that often) I simply plug
it into the USB port and unplug it when finished _not_ using the Safely
Remove Hardware program. I've never encountered a problem ... am I tempting
fate, is it really necessary to 'safely' remove a piece or hardware .... or
not?
