This is a fallacy. (Or maybe Unix geeks aren't as smart as DOS geeks?) I set up something of my own and am no more nor less likely to delete the wrong file. Despite DOS's undelete, Norton's unerase, Novell's salvage, and my own version under Linux -- I haven't shot myself in the foot in eons. I haven't even had to go to my .trash directory in a long time. I only go there occasionally to clean it out. Kendall :-)
