would assume putting a disk in the Trash would format/erase it.
I'd assume it would suck it up through the back of the machine, incinerate
it, and then send the ashes out the back exhaust vent.
But maybe I just expect too much from my digital implements.

Hang on a
minute, does anyone *really* find the use of "=" as
assignation, and "="
as equivalence, in *any way* confusing?
No, but I have extreme difficulties that on some machines you
have to click "Start" to stop, and you have to click on "my
computer"
even though it's not my computer.
