Hey! I use the Trashcan!
I like the idea of using excess storage for backup purposes. I personally
have "erased" stuff by mistake and then been able to recover it from
the trashcan. I have a real "paper" trashcan in my office, and I use that
too, to sometimes recover a document (if I haven't dumped an old tea-bag
on it :-) ).

The real suprise for me was the Mac trashcan. After using the Amiga's one
(which keeps stuff till you empty it), the Mac trashed my stuff every
time I exited the current application. This was un-intuitive. I ended
up making a folder called "trash", which I used just like my Amiga trash.
Let me empty my trash! I even do windows :-).
