yeah, Had the same feelings. I really despise that "My" terminology myself. Total lemming-words, like Win this and Win that. It's Microsoft-Speak and I, a card-holdling, pry-from-my-cold-dead-fingers Mac diehard, have a bit of hesitation typing those words. And now, it's etched in stone in the code forever. Kinda like the RFC misspellings:

"So what if somebody (probably Tim Berners-Lee, who wrote the original HTTP spec) was a better engineer than speller? Yes, the correct spelling is referrer, but the term referer is embedded into the code of millions of browsers and servers and it's too late to change now."

If it does not already exist, create a folder in your Documents folder called "My Revolution [edition]". That is, if you have the Enterprise

I'm not at all sure I could bring myself to name a folder beginning with the word "my". Every nerve twitches at the thought. I already have a serious problem with "My Computer", "My Documents" etc. To me this is like "My first coloring book :-)", eeeuuuw. Surprise! I am not a 5 year old. Are folders whose names do not begin with the word "my" in some way not really mine. Or is this actually a dynamic scoping mechanism like in Perl?
