He is used to the way Windows refers to things - My Computer, My
Documents, My yadda yadda yadda etc. You and I both know this actually
obscures and obfuscates the simple reality, but that's what he's used
to. He isn't really interested in knowing that /home/myusrname/documents
is the same as My Documents.. like most people he couldn't care less
where his stuff really is on the computer, or what it's really called.
He's used to the Windows "window on realitry" and doesn't really care
that it's a lie.
