I tend to agree with you. The only reason I called it "My Documents" was
simply for her comfort. I wanted to make her move from Windows to Linux
as easy and comfortable as possible. I wanted to make her desktop as
familiar as possible to her. Once she has gotten her feet wet with
Linux, I'll really start showing her the wonderful differences between
it and Windows.
