Junk is probably the most useless program I have ever written. When you launch it, it starts up and displays the message "please don't click that button again!". This, of course, is an allusion to the famous scene in "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" where Arthur Dent presses a button and a light appears which says "please don't press this button again". The reason I did this was to create a series of icons I could use for special purposes. Because the document icons had to belong to an application I created this "dummy" program. I can create a new empty document to get the icon I need but if anyone accidentally launches it they just get that quick message. Well, it made sense at the time!
