Dear Microsoft Consumers:
It has come to our attention that
a few copies of the WINDOWS XP 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
XP, 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
