| Commodore, bit players though they are, have succeeded in freeing the
| trashcan icon.  The Amiga has used a trashcan icon to graphically
| represent file removal since its release approximately 4 years ago,
| and Apple has made no effort to defend their so-called copyright.

And the Atari ST is still the same as it ever was, even though Apple
harrassed DRI (makers of GEM, the Atari and IBM "mac-like" interface)
into changing the trash-can into something else (selecting "delete"
from a menu, I think).
