This is precisely why Apple needs to add a few more icons to the desktop!

When you get down to it, you should be able to do almost everything with icons
and not have to resort to pull-down menus.  Some ideas include:
  "Duplicate"    = icon of a copier machine
  "Shut down"    = a hand pulling the power plug
  "Eject"        = picture of a disk popping out of a slot.  A pile of shadowy
                   (dimmed) disks located nearby.
  "Eject&forget" = picture of a disk popping out of a slot.  No shadowy disks.
  "Erase disk"   = picture of a disk going into a shredder.
