Make it an option for us technical types ;-) My favorite so far has been 'wastebasket'. I don't like garbage, and especially dumpster, because they are readily associated with filth. Dumpsters always stink. A wastebasket OTOH seems 'clean', at least to me. I think people would find the idea of a dumpster rather repulsive. Actually, I've become quite comfortable with 'recycle bin', but I don't know if MS has registered that or not... Oop, I just came up with one... how about 'attic'? A cvs term sure, but it makes sense - an attic is where you put things you don't use but aren't quite committed to throwing away just yet - which is exactly what the trash thingy is for. -- Glen Parker glenebob@nwlink.com
