Grab A Real Trash Can That Looks Like The Aqua Trash Can From OS X (With Pic)

Grab A Real Trash Can That Looks Like The Aqua Trash Can From OS X (With Pic)

by , 3:00 PM EST, December 29th, 2000

One of the nifty things about OS X and Aqua is the photo-realistic icons. Imagine the surprise of your author when he opened a present this Christmas to find what seemed like an exact reproduction of the new trash can in OS X Public Beta! Here was a chance to show his geekdom to all!

The trash can comes from Eurway, a furniture store chain in Texas specializing in the kind of furniture that went up in flames when Tyler Durden torched "Jack's" apartment in Fight Club. It's a great store full of awesome products. We asked them to include this trash can in their online store so that you too could show your Mac OS X geekness, and they have done so. The thumbnail we include in this story is not a screenshot from OS X, but is an image from Eurway's Web site. The larger version that the thumbnail links to does not really do this product justice, but we included it too.

It's priced at US$19, and you can find it by going to Eurway's site and clicking on Accessories. At the Accessories pages you will find a link to Waste Baskets, and then a link to the "Finito Waste Basket : Aluminum."

The Mac Observer Spin:

It's funny how many ways Mac users find to show ourselves and the world that we are in fact Mac users. Imagine how many Windows users would be excited about finding a "Recycling Bin" that resembles the ugly one in Windows. Of course, the non-tech obsessed world might laugh at us all, but that's ok too. :-)
