I have a Ti Powerbook G4 running system X. I have an explorer shareware21.sit on my desktop and everytime I try to trash it a "Preparing to Move to Trash" message comes back that says it's being used for other tasks and to try again later - what do I do?

Those things happen quite frequently on OSX, I believe. The best way to sort those things out is to use the Terminal to do it manually.

This isn't a PowerBook-specific problem, and it's one that's been discussed ad nauseum in the OS X forums. As such, I'm closing this thread. Do a google search to find one of the many fixes.
