What you are describing is indeed possible... Think AutoStart (Like CDs)... My Western Digital USB HDD used to have it (before I wiped it) and it would execute a few stupid things at start-up... my USB Thumb drive came with encryption software that I can set up in the autostart...

In the last issue of 2600 (hey, I gotta show support for local magazines ) there was an article where a guy put a script on his iPod that "backed-up" the hard-drive of computers that the guy plugged his iPod into. I forget what language he used (I wanna say perl though).

I can get the details for someone if they want it though.

This also would go along with what TH13 said as well.
