just  what windows does jason. do you wish to delete this folder? yes.
folder has been moved to trash. do you wish to empty trash. yes. at
least I don't have to take 4 steps just to delete a folder from the
hard drive. as you can see windows outputs a message for doing what
it's told. *nix does not. I assume windows user's like being treated
like idiots who don't know how to choose  I mean I love them, and
their contributions to my wallet for support.

/me know that I can turn moving to trash off and always does.
