What a silly question. For an operating system to have an ``undelete'' option, the OS must maintain a copy of the deleted files...which defeats the purpose of deleting the damn files. I find that the best way to handle my mistakes is simply to make none. Everybody makes mistakes; it is *NOT* the job of the operating system to pick up the poopoo left after the mistake. Allow people to make mistakes; but, *encourage* the person (almost put `dumbass'...) to learn from it.
