But, see, it's actually _not_ gone forever - it's just in a parallel
universe.  And then what is happening when it is "emptied"?  Is the
wormhole to this universe being somehow terminated?  Are we litterring
other universes with our useless files?  I read a story about this
once . . .

No comment :-)

What is needed is a loadable .nib file which defines the Black Hole/
Recycler.  Security problems raise their ugly heads, but I have faith
in the people at NeXT . . .


Aha!  This is something that'd be really neat.

One thing I'd like to have is alternate search paths for libraries and
include files for IB, so that when I have a useful class, I need not
link it all over my directory structure.  Just have it included automatically.
This would be nice to go along with my CustomInterfaceBuilder which has
a bunch of oft-used objects compiled in.

What'd be really neat would be to have an IB Palettes default which
listed a bunch of palettes to load in when you load up IB.
