I'm not exactly a novice user, and *I* was a little hesitant to put an
entire disk in the trash (what if I'd misinterpreted the doc - everything
else that goes in the trash eventually disappears *forever*, not just for
the duration of the session).  Now I do it all the time, and I think it's
quite handy, thank you.  But it *is* a departure from the typical meaning
of trash, and it made me a tad queasy for a while.
