When you install a system, make an extra one or two test accounts.  It
gives you something to test with pristine user settings.  And it gives

one reason why I make such accounts straight away).

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
