Trash cans? Disk icons? Double clicking and Dragging? I haven't the briefs at hand, but from memory, I seem to recall things like menus at top, pull down menus, scroll bars, etc. None of those are strictly necessary in any GUI. Neither are trash cans, of course, although that tends to be trivial. There are other matters, such as how to manage files, where I can see alternatives to the Mac interface.
