Since we are having this discussion I feel like I have a chance to vent
one of my pet peeves. When they first came out with "My Documents"
I thought it was the silliest thing. Like a number of people I suppose,
I personify my computer. So, presumably "My Documents" is the place
where the computer puts its documents. If only there was a "Your
Documents" folder someplace for me to put mine... :-)
