 When there is a removable storage device mounted, it gets an icon in the
 Frame.

 The context menu for this has an 'Unmount' option.  This is a Linux
 specific term and doesn't make sense to a non technical user.

 I think 'Remove' would be a better name for this option, since clicking it
 will 'Remove' the device from the frame, and will allow the user to safely
 'Remove' the device from the computer.

 Does anyone know why 'Unmount' was chosen in the first place?
