years back I installed a program on a secretary's Windows 3.1 system. The new icon shifted the Microsoft Word icon to the left one place. Half hour later I get the director calling me saying the secretary was in tears because she had deadlines and I had 'deleted' Word from her system.
When I ran around and pointed at the icon she was ok again - all good to go. I even dragged it back to it's original place so I wouldn't be bothered again.
The ease in which some people get in to a confused state cannot be overstated.
So let's not mess with maps too much - North is at the top by convention.
Well they must have tested this thoroughly beforehand - and they would have known this would happen. It would have been courteous to fess-up and warn folks beforehand. Just good customer service.
I was on a flight just coming in to land and the guy next to me answered his ringing phone - I almost grabbed it off him and stamped on it but as I'm British I would rather the plane went out of control and die in a fireball than to make a fuss. Other people tutted at him. However nothing happened and here I am typing this today!

First thing I thought of too! Followed by 'how will I fill those 15 hours a week experiencing SwTOR?'

Surely they would have better access to archives etc?
sorry but it lost credence as it didn't play 'daisy' with a decreasing tempo as it melted - good effort though.
