According to that logic you would have to replace the save icon in every desktop application because we're no longer using floppy disks. The majority of all users is able to perform the cognitive process to that "hard disk" means "installation device" and "storage medium" here is very confusing since that normally refers to a data disk and not the system disk. When are we going to replace "REWIND", "PAUSE", F. FWD", "PLAY" and "RECORD" on playback devices since we are no longer dealing with tapes and "re-cording" and "re-winding" does not actually reflect anymore what's happening? Adrian -- .''`.
