Hi Tracey, Well, each case where you want to have sound on the mac is indeed possible, but you will have to know what to do. For example, Eric Caron already wrote about the progress bar that you can follow while a file is downloading. But growl is another option. To answer your questions: growl comes with an additional separate extension that you can install. So, first install growl, familiarize yourself with it, and then install the safari extension. This will let growl tell you when a download is complete. Regarding ejecting a usb disk: there is a growl extension that is called hardware growler. It also comes in the dmg bundle that growl comes in, if you download it. The hardware growler can keep an eye on the battery status, and also notify of hardware changes such as mounting and unmounting external partitions etc. Worth taking a look at.
