c'mon, guys,
Windows took a cue from Mac years ago and created the Eco-Friendly Recycle
Bin. Now, we have the same basic thing as the MacTrashcan. Adding Norton
SystemWorks gives another layer of protection, as NSW can 'protect' the
RecycleBin so even after you empty the RB, NSW holds on to it for a
user-specified period of time before actually deleting it- kinda like taking
the recycling to the curb, you need to wait for the trash men to come pick
it up.
As far as the 1394 thing with PCs, it's all HotSwap, too. Some devices,
like harddrives, use Delayed Write or write buffering, which can give an
error if you unplug while it's still waiting to dump to the disk, but other
than that, it's all good.
and, yes, i have had to read through grinds- it's lame and I hate it.
Be well
