Your trolling is getting a little too obvious.

The Mac Trash can does have some advantages, beyond pre-dating its
Windows counterpart by 11 years, though. For instance, it will never
tell you that you have to delete an item immediately because it's too
big to fit in the Trash (huh?) or because it has a file name that
prevents it from being put in the Trash (huh???).

Also, the recycle bin metaphor doesn't make any sense. Yes, you're
recycling the disk space. But it's not disk space that you drag to the
Recycle Bin, it's files. Files represent data, not disk space. The data
is not recycled. Just another one of those whacky little Microsoftisms,
like the fact that you put 'wallpaper' on your desktop. (On the Mac,
amazingly enough, you put 'desktop pictures' on your desktop.)
