What if you're doing something a bit more complicated? Well, lucky you, the
dialogs stack right up, one after the other, in a seemingly never-ending
display of stupidity. Indeed, sometimes you'll find yourself unable to do
certain things for no good reason, and you click Allow buttons until you're
blue in the face. It will never stop bothering you, unless you agree to
stop your silliness and leave that file on the desktop where it belongs.
Mark my words, this will happen to you. And you will hate it.
