This would take all of 10 seconds to do but he would rather spend an hour on here pretending that Windows can do something a Mac cant do.

Well, can you delete individual files in the trash on OSX, like you can in Windows? Simple yes or no question...

The answer is NO.

I can’t imagine why anyone would want to do that anyway.

Yes you can.

Open the "Trash", select the item you want to delete and click the "Delete" (red circle with slash) icon in the toolbar.

It may not be on the toolbar by default, you can add it through the "View" menu item "Customize Toolbar…"

(Worked on Snow Leopard, 10.6, not on Tiger, 10.4. I don't have Leopard, 10.5, or Lion, 10.7, at hand to test.)
