Another common case is to hibernate/sleep/suspend/whatever the
machine, and then disconnect the device out from under it, and
it not being there when the machine wakes back up.  Almost all
MP3 players and Palm devices have that issues (since the order
of human operation is to shut off the machine, get the wallet
and keys, grab the iPod (or whatever), and head out the door).
