...in a submarine.

Your desktop isn't wood, your folders aren't manila, and your windows aren't glass. Why balk at a submarine? It's made of the usual combination of bits and vivid metaphor.

My desktop is most certainly not wood, it's %gold ;)

Who's balking? I'm right there under the water. I find myself craving a destroyer, without quite knowing what I'd do with one ;)
