What would be nice is if the Update & Uninstall applet could remove all
links to the app as well. Its rather annoying to install an app and
still have symlinks to it floating all over the place. Of course if
BeOS used shadows instead of symlinks, this would be a problem.

HTML belongs in email the way vinyl siding belongs on gerbils. Sure
its cute at first, but its just plain WRONG!!!
It is reassuring to consider that in spite of the many historical
expectations of end-of world scenarios, armageddon, natural disasters
and catastrophes, and general hysteria of the gullible, that the cosmos
rolls on, utterly indifferent, uncaring, and oblivious to any arbitrary
and capricious enumerations counted by man. - Ross Milner
