(credit Rusty Nuts) Some things just don't change. Take for instance the Save button in most apps. It's still the icon of a 3.5" diskette. The 3.5" diskette was first produced in 1982, almost 40 years ago. Geeze! And, why would the icon be based on a piece of technology, and not the function it serves? The icon for the copy button isn't a 40 year old copier. The paste button isn't an old school tub of elmer's. Just one of the many mysteries that may never be solved.
What are some other app 'standards' that just don't seem right?
