Re: [ros-general] "My Computer" and co.

[Wesley Parish]

I know d*** well that I hated the My Documents, My Computer, etc, when I first 
saw it.  I don't like being treated like a kiddie and spoken to in little 
more than baby-language.

Perhaps a tutorial on naming the computer parts for newbies?  (As long as it's 
not in *.hlp.  That's interesting, but mostly irrelevant now we've got *.xml.   
And several quality XML renderers.)
