After all, the new trash/delete icon is ambiguous. If you put a file there, apparently, it is getting 'recycled'. So what's getting recycled? The disk space the file was in? The file itself? Or we gonna get back a new file that is one created using a 'recycled' file? How much do we get to the pound of data? Is there anything that ISN'T recycable? I'd venture to say converted messy-dos files probably are toxic, and harmful to your NeXT environment! What are we gonna do with these harmful products? I vote Black Hole! The ultimate dispenser! Is your data radioactive? Is it non-biodegradable? Who cares! Just toss it in your friendly Black Hole, and it's gone forever! This service brought to you by Citizens for an Enviromentally Safe NeXTs! p.s. At least the recycle is better than the pre-release major beta 2.0's trashcan. Yuck! I wonder, is it possible to just edit/change/whatever that icon and make it the Black Hole again? -k
