Mac OS X In my house today, all of the computers are Macs. This is a long way away from three and a half year ago, when I said that Jaguar could not replace my PC. We're chugging along happily running Tiger, just as productive as before, and enjoying every bit of eye candy. But OS X isn't always cherry pie, it's got its own set of faults, and some can be downright annoying. UPDATED

This eject by dragging to the trash can is the one major usability disaster in Mac OS.

When you drag something to the trash can it is going to be deleted, not ejected.


That's why the trashcan will turn into an eject button once you *start* dragging the drive icon.

Of course, someone could still argue that the behaviour is not discoverable. At least the eject icon won't confuse users any more.
