[Ham-Computers] RE: YouTube File Saving Utility.

Well, in all fairness to NT, W2K and XP, if the software is properly written 
deleted files get flagged as being in the Recycle Bin, which you might think 
of as likened unto Purgatory, an intermediate step between life and death.  
With death not being equal to the fourth state, totally erased.  With MS DOS, 
there were only three states, life, death and erased.  Well, actually there was a 
fourth, partially overwritten.  The primary difference between the DOS 
delete/undelete approach and the delete/recycle bin one is that at least up to a 
point, items in the recycle bin are protected against any of the data being 
overwritten.  Under DOS, you could conceivably delete one file, write another file, 
and then be unable to undelete the first because it had been overwritten.
