Someone emailed me this today and thought I share with you all.
No offense intended.
"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 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

Also note that the TEXAS EDITION does not recognize
capital letters or punctuation marks.

We regret any inconvenience it may have caused if you

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