- Well, if you want a silly interface, I've had this idea for the Mac
- for years:
-
- As more icons get added to the trash, the can swells bigger and bigger
- (right now, it swells to a fixed size if there's anything in it, and
- looks normal only with nothing in it). When you pick "Empty Trash", a
- truck drives up and dumps the icons out of the can into the truck (you
- see the icons being dumped from can into truck). The files are
- removed when the truck drives off the screen. At any time, you could
- click on the truck (flag it down?) an extract something from it before
- it gets away.
