I haven't heard of Delete/Eraser that works as well on SSDs as
traditional hard drives. That said USB will be the most common storage
media soon enough. Who saves to CDs at work?

I don't think the icon is a big deal, the whole interface is dated, I
pitched a Firefox addon-like interface a while back, but I'm still ahead
of my time on that.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, update the saveicon with a stock USB
icon: a vertical USB icon, it looks like a human carrying stuff and you
have the integrated download arrow, and it is a recognized symbol on
cameras, phones, TVs, etc.

Rather than reinvent the wheel:

Stock icons:
GNOME & Humanity:
<
http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gnome-icon-theme/trunk/scalable/actions/document-save.svg

[my system Humanity:
/usr/share/icons/Humanity/actions/16/document-save.svg
matches the one from freedesktop.org]

Tango:
<
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/tango/tango-icon-theme/32x32/actions/document-save.png?view=co

[which is not used by LO when the Tango theme is selected - LO still
uses a floppy with the Tango theme. My system Tango:
/usr/share/icons/Tango/22x22/actions/document-save.png
matches the one from freedesktop.org]

freedesktop.org Icon Theme Specification:
<
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html

"document-save  The icon for the save action. Should be an arrow pointing
down and toward a hard disk."

I suspect that LO are still using these icons for Tango:
<http://jimmac.musichall.cz/i.php?i=Tango-OOo>
[Tango OpenOffice.org 2.0 -Note this artwork is not public domain.]
However, that standard Tango icons *are* public domain:

Though the tango-icon-theme package is released to the Public Domain, we
ask that you still please attribute the Tango Desktop Project, for all
the hard work we've done. Thanks.

Personally, I like the arrow pointing downward towards a harddisk (would
look much the same if it were interpreted as an SSD), but please give us
some advance notice, so that I can prepare myself for the task of
explaining to my retirees «what they did with the TV on my screen»....   :-)
