[FRIDAY] WINDOWS 2000 TEXAS EDITION
I can't believe I fell victim to that guy in trench coat selling Win2k for
$5...
--------------------------------------------
Dear Consumers:
It has come to our attention that a few copies of the WINDOWS 2000 TEXAS
EDITION may have
accidentally been shipped outside of the state of Texas.
If you have one of these, you may need some help understanding the
commands.
The TEXAS EDITION may be recognized by the unique opening screen.
It reads:
WINDERS 2000, with a background picture of Willie Nelson superimposed
on the Alamo.
Please also note:
The Recycle Bin is labeled "Outhouse"
My Computer is called "This Dern Contraption"
Dial Up Networking is called "Good Ol' Boys"
Control Panel is known as "The Dashboard"
Hard Drive is referred to as "4-Wheel Drive"
Floppies are "Them little ol' plastic thangs"
Instead of an error message, "Duct tape" pops up
CHANGES IN TERMINOLOGY IN TEXAS EDITION:
Cancel.............stopdat
Reset...............try'er agin
Yes..................yep
No....................nope
Find..................hunt fer it
Go to................over yonder
Back.................back yonder
Help..................hep me out here
Stop..................kwitit
Start..................crank'er up
Settings.............settins
Programs...........stuff at duz stuff
Documents.........stuff ah done did
Also note that theTEXAS EDITION does not recognize capital letters or
punctuation marks.
Some programs that are exclusive to WINDERS 2000:
Tiperiter.....................a word processing program
Colerin' Book..............a graphics program
Cyferin' mersheen.......calculator
Outhouse paper..........notepad
Inner-net.....................Microsoft Explorer 5.0
Pitchers......................a graphics viewer
We regret any inconvenience it may have caused if you received a copy of

You may return it to Microsoft for a replacement version.
I hope this helps all ya'll!

Umm, I have this forwarded to a hotmail account. I don't mind the friday
emails too much, but can we please refrain from the 200K attachments? My
account is going to get filled up very quickly. I'm sure I'm not unique
here.
thanks,
Mike
