I wonder if the first attempt was simply dragging that Mac System Software to the trash. Not "the computer icon", but it's possible the anecdote was/is slightly misremembered by John

Dragging a floppy to the bin would simply eject it... 🤷 Well all right, maybe the story is from before the intro of the "Insert disk Foo".

Seems like a simple folley, the person I responded to said it was a floppy (it’s two layers of “mesh”?) and couldn’t remember the computer icons. Details get fuzzy, I had no idea and was curious so I just looked it up. I’ve got no horse here.
