Subject: Texan Edition of Windows 98
It has come to our attention that a few copies of the Texas Edition
of Windows 98 may have accidentally been shipped outside Texas.
If you have received the Texas Edition in error, but still wish to
use it, you may need some help understanding the special commands
and terminology.
The Texas Edition can be recognized by the opening screen.
It reads WINDERS 98, with a background picture of The Alamo superimposed on a Lone Star flag.
It is shipped with a Daisy Duke screen saver.
The Recycle Bin is labeled "Outhouse"
My Computer is called "This Infernal Contraption"
Dialup Networking is called "Good Ol\' Boys"
Control Panel is known as "the Durn Dashboard"
Hard Drive is referred to as "4-Wheel Drive"
Floppies are "them little ole\' plastic disk thangs"
Instead of an error message, you get a window covered with a garbage bag and duct tape.
Other commands and terms differ as follows:
OK = \'ats aw-right
cancel = hail no
reset = aw shoot
yes = shore
no = naaaah
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 \'at does stuff
documents = stuff I done done
Also not that WINDERS 98 does not recognize capital letters or punctuation marks. If you receive a copy
of the Texas edition, you may return it to Microsoft for a copy of the standard version.
We regret any inconvenience this may have caused.
