Utter BS.

The term "folder" is a stupid construction based on the desktop paradigm.
It is intended as an analogy to paper files and folders and furthermore
it doesn't quite fit.  A file cabinet contains folders which in actuality
are files, i.e. a folder does not contain files but rather it is a file.

Maybe Microslop should start using "cabinet" instead of "folder" -- and change
that stupid yellow icon as well.

The term "directory," however, is an accurate and much more professional description
of the digital reality.

People who use the term "folder" should be ... I won't say it.

Everything about Microslop Winblows is designed for stupified idiots.

OTOH, outside of the mainstream distros, everything in GNU/Linux is designed
for knowledgeable professionals.

The case is closed.
