Windows 98-Texas Version

Posted by: clean-hewmor <clean-hewmor@...>

It has come to our attention that a few copies of the Texas Edition of Windows
98 may have accidentally been shipped outside of Texas.

If you have one of the Texas Editions you may need some help understanding the
commands.

The Texas Edition may be recognized by looking at the opening screen. It reads
WINDERS 98 with a background picture of the Alamo superimposed on the Texas
flag.

It is shipped with a Leann Rimes screen saver.

Also note the Recycle Bin is labeled Outhouse.

My Computer is called This Infernal Contraption.

Dialup Networking is called Good Ole Boys.

Control Panel is known as the Dashboard.

Hard Drive is referred to as Wheel Drive;
Floppies are Them Little Ole Plastic Disc Thangs.

Other features:
Instead of an Error Message you get a Winder covered with a garbage bag and
duct tape.

Terminology:
OK = ats aww-right.
Cancel = heck no.
Reset = aw shoot.
Yes = shore.
No = Naaaa.
Find = hunt-fer it.
Go to = over yonder.
Back = back yonder.
Help = hep me out here.
Stop = ternit off.
Start = crank it up.
Settings = sittins.
Programs = stuff that does stuff.
Documents = stuff I done done.

Also note that Winders 98 does not recognize capital letters or punctuation
marks.

We regret any inconvenience it may have caused if you received a copy of the
Texas Edition.

You may return it to Microsoft for a replacement version.
