Happy Monday, everyone. I got this in an e-mail from a friend in Massachusetts, and it gave me a laugh, so I thought I'd pass it along.
Subj: FW: Windows 98 Texas Edition Windows 98 Texas edition Dear Customers: It has come to our attention that a few copies of the WINDOWS 98 TEXAS EDITION may have accidentally been shipped outside 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 98, with a background picture of Sam Houston superimposed on a Texas flag. It is shipped with a " Remember the Alamo " screen saver. 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 disc thangs" Instead of an error message a "garbage bag and roll of duct tape" pops up. CHANGES IN TERMINOLOGY IN TEXAS EDITION: OK . . . . . . . . . . ats aw-right Cancel . . . . . . . stopdat Reset . . . . . . . . try er agin Yes . . . . . . . . . yep No . . . . . . . . . . noop 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 TEXAS EDITION does not recognize capital letters or punctuation marks.

LOL
I did get sent a similar thing a few weeks back - the Geordie version: Windaz 98. This has things like: Error Message 204, You are to drunk to use this Komputah. Exit? Aye! or Bog off! and the "My Documents" file was called "Me Shite". Rather amusing to a southerner like myself.
