Yes, Thank Heaven for PCLOS, and KDE. There are so many other systems
that seem to be designed specifically to confound those users who have
been using the system that Xerox invented close to 40 years ago.
It's as if they put the clutch pedal on the right! Or the high notes on the
left side of the piano keyboard! Now of course, MS has done the same
with their goofy Win8, but there's no good reason for Linux to do so.
