You know what's great? People asking you if you can find a file the computer has 
lost. If you ask them what the name of the file is, where they think they saved 
it or even with what program it was made with, they all draw a blank. "It had 
tigers in it", words or pictures? Turns out it's words in a picture. How to find 
it? Ask when they made it. After a search it turns out it's something like 
Tiger.doc in "my documents"... Then they look at you as if you're a magician.

Isn't it rather easy to change the color? Or just select another theme. I use XP 
with the classic 98 skin and color scheme. I'd imagine something similar is 
still doable in Vista or Seven.
