--- Comment #26 from pinheiro <nuno@oxygen-icons.org> ---
the outline shape is the important bit a database this days is just 3 disks
stacked to toguether I said metal cause thatch the most common one, i also said
filter and not funel, because thats were the shape come from the old xerox
coffe machine used for the filters, no one knows that any more and its not
important its an abstract shape people recognize and know. 

Gnome, we had this discussion with them back wen they design that icon way back
wen and they were not sure their solution was the best at the time, and i
suspect they would agree that probably its was a bad idea...

In a few more years a save action will be just 3 squares, and that's fine as
long as people recognize the image and connect it with the concept... as they
do right now, and by then no one will know that once upon a time there use to
be real devices that vaguely looked like that. Only old farts like us will :D
it will be our litle Secret ;)
