He didn't say "lets change My Computer to This Box", he said "My Computer" to 
"The Computer". Though i would prefer "This Computer".

As long as its just semantic, and the meaning is still the same i see no 
reason to avoid being clear. i would much prefer "This Computer" to "My 
Computer". But i guess ROS could have themes which supported different names 
for system icons(should be easily implemented)

Sincerly
