Okay, may be a stupid question, but here it is:

Could the eject button (keyboard) be used to eject USB devices, such as flash drives? Obviously I know it works to eject CDs, but logically, if the icon for the USB device is highlighted, and the eject button is pressed, does this eject the USB device?

Ofcourse I have tried it without success. However, was wondering if this is a glitch in my MacbookPro, or is this a common thing used by others?

Thanks :)

I can't get the Eject Key to work, either. Command-E does the job.
