- As a suggestion, since Apple has copyrighted the trash can, perhaps this
- fraternity of os2 users could be a little more environmentally aware and
- use a recycling bin instead. I know that there are many times that I put
- stuff in my recycling bin and then before carrying out, I find a need and
- go and retrieve whatever it is. This would allow the retrieval feature
- people want and of course, once the bin is emptied, the contents are gone
- forever.
