Bug Description
Binary package hint: human-icon-theme
The current "save" icon in Ubuntu is still a floppy disk, which seems outdated in 2007; only few mordern desktop PCs ora laptops have floppy drives these days. The GNOME and Tango icon themes already use a hard disk with an arrow pointing onto them; this seems more appopriate for a modern desktop. The Human theme could contain the Tango icon with Human-specific arrow color changes.

Are we talking about a series of platters (which would presumably be meaningless to most people) or a plain box (which looks like, well, a box to most people, and besides I doubt most people have never seen a hard disk even in its casing)? It's a difficult question. Can you attach or supply a link to the Tango icon?
