Oh, that sounds quite awesome. I must get some of that. Another 
USB-related thing that I hate is whenever I go somewhere with a 
USB-stick to print something, some program announcing it is going to 
index the entire contents of my USB-stick the moment I pop it in 
appears. I believe it is an Adobe product. Why that computer would 
need to index my entire porn backup when I just want to print 
document.pdf is what I don't get, however.
