[TYPO3-core] RFC: "Floppy" Icons

[Stefano Kowalke]

Hi,

if a look around on my desktop (Linux with KDE) every icon for save action
is a 3,5" floppy disk. Its very common for this action. 
Its the only motivation for change, that floppy is out? 
What are the alternatives?
A modern USB-Stick is IMHO not a better icon, neither a CD. 

> (Whats the icon for saving in Word, Photoshop, etc.)

GIMP: 3,5" floppy
Kontact: 3,5" floppy
Amarok: 3,5" floppy
OpenOffice.org: 3,5" floppy
Firefox: 3,5" floppy


Cheers
Stefano
