Lol, yea, that annoyed the hell out of me from… The start! 😁
At least it wasn’t trashing a floppy to eject it (oh, so I’m not erasing the whole disk, because trashing a folder deletes the entire folder).
They both have issues like this, I just find Apple to be less intuitive in general (and I’ve worked with it since about 1985, even spent a couple years doing desktop publishing with a Mac for work).
I never liked calling it the Start menu. I understand why they did it (makes it obvious for new users), but I could never think of a better name.
Since OS X they swapped the trash icon for an eject icon when you start dragging a removable disk. So they hint at it in some way.
Incidentally, this is why the trash icon is on the right side of the dock, and cannot be removed. You need it to eject disks due to a decision to account for the lack of a second mouse button.
Meanwhile apple tells you to put your removable media in the trash.
That always bothered me, from the start.
“Apple is more intuitive” oh really?
It’s awful. It’s like if you used a menu called Start to shut down Windows.

Explain please?
The apple way to eject a disk was to drag the disk icon into the trash.
What the fuck
