Abstract: A querying system in a computer apparatus may be customized by connection of a removable storage medium device to a storage medium interface of the computer apparatus. The computer apparatus detects whether, in the storage medium thereof, there is stored customisation data that indicates a change to the query engine data identifying locations where query messages are sent. If so, the query engine data in the computer apparatus is changed accordingly.

Abstract: A user interface in a computer apparatus may be customized by connection of a removable storage medium device to a storage medium interface of the computer apparatus. It is detected whether, in the storage medium thereof, there is stored customisation data that includes icon data and target data in respect of additional icons for the user interface. If so, user interface data in the computer apparatus is changed to include the icon data and target data in respect of the additional icons.

Abstract: A notification system in a computer apparatus may be customized by connection of a removable storage medium device to a storage medium interface of the computer apparatus. It is detected whether, in the storage medium thereof, there is stored customisation data that includes notification data of additional notifications. If so, the notification data in the computer apparatus is changed to include the notification data of additional notifications.

Abstract: A user interface in a computer apparatus may be customized by connection of a removable storage medium device to a storage medium interface of the computer apparatus. It is detected whether, in the storage medium thereof, there is stored customisation data that identifies a change to the appearance of the user interface, for example in the colours, textures, container-shape or font. If so, user interface data in the computer apparatus is changed to include the icon data and target data in respect of the additional icons.
