This is one of the best 'issues' that people had with Mac OS X in the beginning. 'Ah! Put my Trash back on the Desktop!' they were screaming. And I, too, thought it was in the wrong place at first. But I suddenly noticed that a) I don't use it that much, really. I always hit Cmd-Backspace instead. b) If I want to use it, it's much easier to find now, and I have things I actually *need* on my Desktop. It *belongs* in the Dock. And it's like that with more than just the Trash. Things like what's in the application's menu and what's under the Apple menu. The way Mac OS X handles the elements feels much more natural to me, once I'm 'converted'. Of course, it's difficult to get rid of old habits, but it only takes _some_ time - and Mac OS X helps you, because the things are where you would expect them, if you hadn't used Mac OS 9 before.

| "No more trash" function
I'd like a "trash it REALLY" function. Command-Shift-Backspace. Destroys the file NOW.

LOL Yoda... I would like it very much if you would post all of your posts like that. It might get kind of fun with the longer posts.

A clean desktop is eyecandy. Why clutter it up more than you have to? Besides...all I have to do when I trash is right-click with the mouse and delete the item. To always have to go to finder or drag-drop is a bother. I love changeing desktop pics often and enjoy them too much to have anything else there interfering. Dazmy view  Gambit

Currently about 71% of those who voted don't want the trash back on the desktop. I'm suprised by this number. I didn't expect so many people to vote against the trash on the desktop. I remember when OSx versions were first released, many people were upset at the move. Seems that with time, people changed their minds
