Win2k Texas Edition
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 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 the TEXAS EDITION does not recognize capital letters or punctuation marks. Some programs that are exclusive to WINDERS 2000: Tiperiter.....................a word processing program Colerin' Book.............a graphics program Cyferin' mersheen.....calculator Outhouse paper.........notepad Inner-net....................Microsoft Explorer 5.0 Pitchers......................a graphics viewer 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! Billy Bob Gates

LOL.
Looks strangely similar to one that's posted on the Post a Joke thread though.

I see it is pratically identical to the one on the joke thread. Sorry for the repeat - I hadn't followed that thread.
Sarge came to my thoughts too. |
