Hi all,
Although having a recycle bin may seem like a good idea, it takes up
space, and it also encourages lazy computer habits. If you send
something to the recycle bin in Windows, you do, of course, have the
ability to rescue it, but it's like riding a bicycle with training
wheels. Humanware figures you're grown up enough to know what files
you want to delete and after all, it *does* ask you if you're sure you
want to delete the file. What more do you need? Come into the real
world, take responsibility for your own actions. If you say yes to
deleting a file, you've said yes, and it's gone. What do you need a
second level of protection for? <smiling> Now, I've deleted a file
by saying yes too quickly. I think we all have. It's a learning
experience. You only do that once. It only takes one hurried
response before you slow down and listen or read your BrailleNote's
prompts.
Now, this has nothing to do with the files that are occasionally lost
in Windows and on the BN because of computer glitches, accidental
keystrokes and the like. These aren't sent to any recycle bin at
all. They're just lost. So, having a recycle bin wouldn't help in
this case because the file isn't being deleted in the prescribed way.
