 OK

 secondary, since removing without ejecting will work fine in most cases.

 Well, depends on the usage patterns of the user. If the device is removed
 just after initiating a copy, it's quite possible that the file will be
 incomplete.

 >  - A "Copy to Journal" option.  We can probably come up with better
 wording for this later

 OK

 >  - 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.

 This I think won't make for Trial3. Shouldn't we have a confirmation step?

 > 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.
