The Mac wasn't quite that bad: you were dragging to a Wastebasket
rather than a Shredder to eject.  Still pretty nonsensical, I suppose.
Metaphorically one would more likely retrieve one's data by rummaging
through the garbage for it intact rather than stitching together a
gazillion chads.  I seem to recall that the OS/2 Workplace Shell had a
Shredder desktop object.
