Thoroughly disguisted by the clutter on my desktop, I decided to delete all of it. I selected everything, deselected a few things I wanted to keep, and hit command-delete (the keyboard shortcut for Move to Trash).
Yes, WxFPP_EN is indeed my Windows XP CD, left over from a failed/aborted attempt at installing Boot Camp. And Mac OS X really is asking me if I want to delete it immediately. Clicking Delete caused this error to appear:
Error -61 looks familiar, so I looked it up: wrPermErr. Yes, that’s right: the Leopard Finder is actually trying to delete files off the CD.
Okay. Bad enough. But at least it didn’t crash, right? I click OK:
After all of that my desktop is still a cluttered mess.
Apple, if Finder stability is one of your goals ur doing it wrong. Hitting command-delete on a volume shouldn’t actually try to delete the files form it. This is laughably bad.
OMG. That’s just too much. I love your greeting to Apple about ‘doing it wrong’. I don’t know what else to say except don’t use the FF. Cheers.
