FWIW, I _hate_ any filename that has "my" in it. First, it may not be "my" computer, it might belong to my employer, or my son, or whatever. Second, it may be only one of "my" computers. Third, it sounds like something you would put on a machine designed for 5-year olds. What stupidity. What's wrong with "this computer?"

If you don't like "My Computer" as an icon, please report it as a bug here: http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/feedback.cgi Hopefully, if enough of us do it, it will be gone by the next release. I would like a YOU patch within the month. It has to go. Otherwise, Open Office will surely get automatic context sensitive help, probably introduced by an animated paperclip: - "I see you are typing some text. Use your keyboard to type some more. Would you like me to tell you how to identify your keyboard?" I certainly can't stand this twee drivel, it is so naff. If the Dutch get 'deze computer' [elsewhere this thread], then the English should get the equivalent. It does look like thoughtless internationalization. What do the Germans get? Vince
