2. How does one save files to the U3 drive if it's yanked from the
computer?
Short answer: You can't. You can only prepare for it.
Long answer: Users of U3 are instructed over and over again to click
the "Eject" button within the U3 program. If they do not, and eject the
drive anyways, the next time they plug it in they are re-warned of data
loss.
The best way to handle this type of behavior in my own opinion is to
employ a "HyperCard" type of mentality... write everything. In
HyperCard, the stack would automatically save when the browse tool is
used. If you employ the same tactic with your U3 app, even if the stick
is removed, the data will have already been written.
Obviously this tactic will not work for every type of program, but it
should work for most.
