No problem. I like them too, but I have to look at my keyboard to find
them. People who learned to type on blacked-out manual keyboards and
who never actually finger-automated the number row are at a definite
disadvantage.
Moreover, some of the punctuation etc. characters have moved around, and
new ones have been added. I should spend time teaching my brain about
the "new" arrangement, but I won't.

What's wrong with plain old 'Documents'? This is MY fucking computer,

I really despise faux cordiality. I especially despise it in junk mail
because the bastards sprinkle it over the contents as well as the
envelope. If I had a shredder next to my chair I wouldn't mind, but I
refuse to recycle anything with my unaltered name/address (a friend
throws it in the trash and dumps the cat litter box as the final step)
and tear identity-stuff up by hand. I approve of recycling paper
(assuming it actually gets recycled) and resent the stupidity of the
companies' fake personalization.

I believe they think of everything, especially if it seems profitable.
That's fine, but it doesn't excuse stuff I find annoying.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level
and beat you with experience!
