Win 98 Mississippi Edition

 

Dear Consumers:

It has come to our attention that a few copies of the WINDOWS

98 MISSISSIPPI EDITION may have accidentally been shipped outside

of Mississippi. If you have one of these, you may need some

help understanding the commands. The Mississippi edition may be recognized

by the unique opening screen. It reads: WINDERS 98,

with a background picture of General Robert E. Lee superimposed

on a Confederate flag. It is shipped with a Dukes of Hazzard

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

Just imagine you talkin about Winders98!! My oh my.

I am just so proud of You! Just look how far you've come since I took you under my wing! It was just a few short years ago that I found you were wandering the rain forest of Oregon, looking for someone that could speak Linux. And now your toes have webbed together and you can walk across the swamps. My little bird like chest is just abustin. 'Cause now I can say I knew him when!
