| It has come to our attention that a few copies of the WINDOWS 98 SOUTHERN EDITION may have accidentally been shipped outside the South. If you have one of these, you may need some help understanding the commands.
The Southern edition may be recognized by the unique opening screen. It reads: WINDERS 98, with a background picture of General Robert E. Lee superimposed on Stars and Bars. It is shipped with a Dukes of Hazzard screensaver.
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 "The Dashboard"
Hard Drive is referred to as "4 Wheel Drive"
Floppies are "Them little ol plastic disc thangs"
(Please note that good ol' boys, ain't got no truck with anything on 'em, floppy). Instead of an error message a "garbage bag and roll of duct tape"pops up.
