Thank you - and to everyone who sent me e-mail. There are some
nice features, like a warning when you do this to a hard disk,
and zooming the disk icon to the trash. I do think however that
there could be a more obvious way of doing this. What is
wrong with changing the Eject Disk menu item when OPTION is held
down? This is consistent with the way Clean Up now works, and
doesn't require overloading another menu item.
