        I tried to search for it and found nothing, so I’ve to ask.

        Why on earth we use mountain symbol for gallery/images ?

      Some devs of yore considered using another icon for save. A piggy bank. The idea was considered for a while, and was finally scrapped in favour of the traditional floppy.

      This was in an old version of word apparently. Assuming that the story is authentic.
