If you dump a folder with 1000 files and 30 subdirectories, how annoying it is to empty the trash and gettin the message that the item "whatever" cant be erased cause its locked. with OS 9 you could just hold the option key. its a big waste of time to FIND a file 30 directories deep, talk about how productive is OS X! can anybody say if there is an easier way? I downloaded an app called "empty trash" or something like that, with a button on screen to empty the trash, I thought it would fix the problem (the download site stated it could erase all files including locked items, its so annoying to find it doesn't work the hard way) >:-| I dumped the program I rather take two seconds reaching for the bottom to my dock and choosing empty trash, than to keep a useless program like that. However the idea of having a trash on the desktop sounds too good to be true, I'll see if its what it seems and if it resembles the old OS 9 I might learn to like it.
