I'm very glad to hear about these changes, and may be implementing them 
in the near future (note to alan DeKok: I'm not the OP.  I only 
responded to this recently.)
Also, I own the USB key shaped like a humping dog.  It doesn't have any 
storage space and is just a decorative humping dog for your computer.  
Unless they've made a new version since I purchased mine.
