I am SO impressed that you know HOW to undo the surgery they perform on your computer; my respect for you has grown immeasurably that you can even contemplate retaliation.

Usually it is CW with all his computer science degree larnin' who does this to mine. And exactly what you said- a sort of poor mom, I'll try to make her life easier act of charity...
Over Xmas, he moved everything into neat little boxes he all labelled and neat, failing to realize that I have no idea how to locate anything on a computer. So then, when he realized I was completely lost and was sobbing that all my work had disappeared into the computer black hole that frequently devours my words if I don't leave a careful trail of electronic breadcrumbs, he added little icons on my screen that say Shortcut to books, or columns, so at least I can get to works in progress. It's just like a Magic Carpet.
If you asked me for directions I would just look at you blankly.
"Directories? FOlders? What are they? Just push the magic button," I'd say, "And you will be there."

Over Christmas he refigured things so that now instead of boring logos popping up, everything on the bar says Hi Mom! CW. RIght now at the top of this page as I type, it says, SIResponding to Message #17189619-Hi Mom! CW
It's everywhere.
He says he was tired of their self promotion. So he killed them and did his own.
My computer is an altar to CW. Except for the screensaver which is a gorgeous headshot of Ammo.
