Yeah I loved Oscar but someone in my family, I think it was my sister deleted some important stuff so that was bad


I never use the trash can any more. I customized my tool bar to have a delete button and eject button and I find that more enjoyable. Only problem I find is when I use someone else's computer it's slower to get to.

[sarcastic]
Everyone should conform to me right now or else I'll write a petition and cry until Apple removes the choice you all have so that I am happy in my own little world [/sarcastic]

That's the way I feel this forum has become lately.

It should be an option IMHO.
I use the desktop on OS9 A LOT, and I have things settled in a manner I like. In OS X I dont yet since I dont use it a lot at the moment. Eventually I will add icons and folders and docs to it. I would like desktop tabs to make a comeback since that is a function i use A LOT in OS 9

I have a lot of junk of my desktop... it's where things seem to collect.

But I still never drag things to the trash... it's too slow! Command-Delete is the way to go. Or right click the file.

It's the same with people wanting the Application Menu back. Clicking on a Dock icon is much faster than using the old App Menu, which I dont even use in OS 9... I use DragThing's Process Dock.

I guess some people use the mouse a lot more than I do.

The Incinerator. That would be kind of funny, actually.

I like my trash in the Dock, like most of you. Although I use command-delete, it still feels like it belongs in the Dock and not the Desktop. I would be quite offended at this point if they moved it onto the Desktop again.
