This may seem a silly question but...

If the Trash is a special directory, and there's only one Trash Can on
the desktop, does that mean that when I delete a file from a floppy it
is copied to the trash directory on the boot disk before being removed
from the floppy?  (Naah, that would be stupid.  Surely the Trash Can
icon represents the various trash directories on all mounted disks in
some intuitive way.  Right?)  

Also, when you Empty Trash, does it empty the trash directory on all
mounted disks, just the boot disk, or what?  It would be nice to be
able to, for example, free up space on a floppy without emptying the
trash on the hard disk...

Thanks, Apple people, for providing answers to our questions.  This is
great!
