- I was watching a ballgame and they did an ad. for the dirt devel hand vac.
- It was on the big board cleaning up dirt(of coarse). At any rate, I thought
- of an idea that would be better than the MAC trash can.
-
- By using some combination of mouse buttons(it seems like os/2 has used most
- already) your cursor turns into a vacuum cleaner and as you move it over
- a file it sucks it up. You could have a setting for confirmation just like
- with the shredder.
-
- Just an idea. Sorry it's off the beaten path a little.

- I guess the wild mouse problem in os/2 would present problems with this. You
- are sweeping away some old files and boom, the mouse goes half way cross the
- screen and everything get wiped out.
