         Yes a backup would save the day. But very few home users back 
up even now and then. So I see in my Lucid 10.04 that Ubuntu is starting 
to use the method of delete to a trash can of things on your desktop. I 
just sent some pictures to Wal Mart for prints from my Desktop. When I 
tried to delete the pictures I was not given the choice of delete. I 
could send them to trash.
