No, that was the standard for the Macintosh's OS at first.  Changing it
to mean Print and introducing command-W to close a window were
introduced by Microsoft in their original products for the Mac.

I still don't see how what other people do/don't do on their computers 
affects you on yours.

Ah. I see your point. I have this problem with Herself here, on lots of 
levels. I mean, she's still whinging about Eudora. "Move on," I say.

My guess would be his wife, or perhaps his mother or mother-in-law.

There's an old British TV show called "Minder" where the character
Arthur Daley always said "Her indoors" (or more precisely "'er
indoors") when referring to his wife, who was never seen on-screen.

That was a great show (he said, showing his age). George Cole is still 
alive. 

Yeah, "Herself" is my beloved partner, She Who Must Be Obeyed.

Yep, "She who must be obeyed" is another of Arthur Daley's phrases for
his wife.  :-)

There's a recent-ish new Sky TV channel here in New Zeland called
"Jones!" that plays old shows, including "Minder". I've been
re-watching some of the episodes - it's a bit weird seeing Dennis
Waterman young in that and then older in episodes of "New Tricks" (on a
different channel).

I liked that show too. I also read the H. Rider Haggard books as a lad

I was always surprised at how kind of dumpy and ordinary he was for a 
"heart-throb" (which he was in England).
