Actually, this drove me nuts while helping out a Windows user who
deleted a file from a floppy yet expected it to still be in the recycle
bin. I still don't think they understand that pressing the delete key
with respect to a file in their "My Documents" folder means move to the
Recycle Bin while pressing the same key with respect to a file on a
floppy disc means really delete.

Consistency!
