RE: WINDOWS 2000 TEXAS VERSION

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 George W. Bush 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

Also, note that the TEXAS EDITION does not recognize

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.

I hope this helps all ya'll !
