Thanks for the explanation of why Ubuntu is different. The point I am making is that an old fashioned floppy disk is not the only icon used for Save and the world will not come to an end if some other appropriate, and more modern, icon is used in its place. Having said that, a hard drive may be old fashioned in a few years time when SSDs become the norm.
