- This'll be simple...I just have two gripes about System 7 that I'd like to
- air.
-
- 1) The "Emptying Trash" dialog is the most annoying thing I've _EVER_ seen
- in my life! I know there are programs that work around it (CopyDoubler,
- for one) but it would be _so_ nice, in the "Get Info" dialog, to have
- a check box that says "Verbose empty" (which would put up a dialog before
- emptying trash, and put up the emptying trash dialog).
-
- 2) This is just a little thing, but the new version of Namer only works on
- Laserwriter products. But our school has 6 AppleTalk ImageWriters, and the
- Namer doesn't recognize them! I realize we can dig out our older copies to
- use, but it still shows a little lack of foresight on Apple's part.

- (Who's still trying to figure out why Apple thinks anyone would _want_ to
- watch the Trash empty...
