Default Re: SE4 in higher resolutions + OT: floppy disks

Mac is a copy of Windows, Windows is a copy of Mac. Each company stole all the good innovations the other had done from each other (and now Linux does the same, while maintaining all that obselete OS junk from the 50-70s ).

Make links on the desktop to the floppy and cd drives, and you get the exact same effects. The Recycle bin IS on the windows desktop. It is very hard to get rid of.

If you want to eject the floppy you can do it from the desktop by putting the floppy into the trash. Easier than fumbling around for that little button on the floppy drive.
Fumbling around? It is a big button, not at all hard to press. With CD drives at least, you can right click on the drive icon and hit "eject", which requires less work than dragging it all the way to the trash can.

And in the older Versions of OS, maybe even older than OS7 in 1991, you could set it to automatically give the sizes of folders. Twelve years later XP, still cannot automatically give me size of the folders as there isn't an option for it in View/Choose Details.
Actually, win 95/nt and up all have this functionality directly. 3.x had it, but it was not as easy. Use "detail" view instead of the other views, and you get lots of info. Hover the mouse over a folder, and you get a tool tip showing folder size and such.
