Microsoft Notebook: The end of ‘my’ is nigh:
Those folders on your Windows desktop will still be yours — but in the future you’ll need to figure that out on your own.
Ending a longstanding tradition, Microsoft Corp. plans to stop using the word “my” as the default prefix for such folders as “My Documents,” “My Music,” “My Pictures” and others along those lines. Starting in the next Windows version, due out next year, folders will be known simply as “Documents,” “Music,” and so on.

Sorry to hear that. But he might surprise you. Last year our cat – also a perpetual indoor cat, no street smarts, and while not 18 or deaf, no spring chicken at 14 – disappeared in the middle of winter when there was freezing rain. Was gone over 24 hours. We left the garage door open just enough for him to get in if he came home, and put his bed and a water bowl just inside, and the next day there he was. So don’t write him off yet.
Good luck!
I’m optimistic — he’s a canny old bastard — but perhaps his age and general infirmity have caught up with him. The household has already started grieving, so if he does return, he’s liable to be bathed in tuna broth or something equally prodigal.
