Comment:

 Primary rollover:

  - The name of the device, eg. "Eben's Flash Drive"

 Secondary rollover:

  - A meter representing percent full, with a single label identifying it's
 total capacity.  This should only appear for writable media.
  - An "Eject" option.  The assumption, I suppose, is that this is truly
 secondary, since removing without ejecting will work fine in most cases.
  - A "Copy to Journal" option.  We can probably come up with better
 wording for this later
  - An "Erase" option which will allow a basic reformat.  Note that in the
 future the reformatting step may also provide a way to name the device and
 assign it a color pair for identification in the interface.  This should
 only appear for writable media.

 The design for these palettes should be almost obvious at this point,
 since they all follow the same format in general.  I'll attach icons for
 the eject, copy, and erase actions in the menu later.  Let me know which
 of these actions we'll actually have for trial 3.
