IIRC my good old Amiga had a something that looked quite similar to
Apple's and was called "Trashcan".

NeXT has a "Recycler", hasn't it? (I suppose Mr. Jobs knew they couldn't
call it Trash ;-)

This whole thing is so unbelievably stupid that i right now thing the best
thing would be an icon with a picture of a toilet and the text "Crap"!

But anyway, thanks Ming for pointing out the problem. It's important that
problems like this get solved.
