- I like the Amiga "Snapshot" option because it "child-proofs"
- my Workbench. My two-year-old can drag and drop icons everywhere
- but since he doesn't know enough to go and "Snapshot-All", I
- get everything back. He also doesn't know how to go to the
- menu-bar and "Empty Trash", so even if something gets dragged
- into the Trash-Can, it's not deleted.
-
- I believe on a Mac, he'd really devastate the windows.
