As long as you wait a reasonable while after you've closed all files, you should be fine. You don't have to turn your computers completely off every time you want to remove a memory stick or flash drive. Some drives have eject buttons available in the software. These may not be accessible. What does your sighted friend do? I promise you he doesn't shut down his computers every time he wants to remove a drive.

I've been told that before removing a memory stick from the USB, you must close it down or something like that to protect it. I'm moving MP3 files from one computer to another and switching off each computer every time before removing the memory stick. How do I remove the memory stick without damaging it whilst still leaving the computers on?
