Am I the only person who used to click on Help -> About in GUIs and got
confused that it didn't say what the application was about? There'd
always be some pointless copyright information which I didn't and don't
care about.

I still do sometimes out of habit with an application I've never used before.

invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely
