This software is fun and functional. I had a controller that wouldn't stay mounted, and the meows let me know it wasn't working. Glad to see this version had new meows.

It's a cute idea, especially for cat lovers, but what'd be really useful would be one or more applications that:

1. Copy user-defined files or folders to a USB drive with a particular name when it is inserted. A lot of us use USB drives for backup, and this would make that handy. Insert, wait a few seconds, and then remove.

2. Backs up user-defined files or folders to a USB drive with a particular name after set intervals of time. This would give us backup throughout the day, particularly while on the go.

3. Do the same thing when we eject a USB drive, perhaps with a meoow to tell us that unplugging the drive is OK. That'd make sure we have that one final backup that matters most.

One application that does all of this would be quite handy. I've looked for such a thing and been unable to find it. And it should be something people would pay to have.

...for me, either when a USB device is plugged in or removed, and when an already connected USB device is turned on or off.

Truly "the cat's meow"--and you can't beat free!
