Subject: Windows 98 recall

It has come to our attention that a few copies of the Georgia edition of Windows 98 may have accidentally been shipped outside GA.

If you have one of the GA editions you may need some help understanding
the commands. The GA edition may be recognized by looking at the 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 Daisy Duke screen saver.

Also note the Recycle Bin is labeled Outhouse, My Computer is called
This Infernal Contraption, Dial up Networking is called Good Ol' Boys,
Control Panel is known as the Dern Dashboard, Hard Drive is referred to as 4 wheel drive,and floppies are them little ole plastic disc thangs.

Other features:
Instead of a error message you get a winder covered with a garbage bag and duct tape.
OK = ats aww-right
cancel = hail no
reset = awa shoot
yes = shore
no = Naaaa
find = hunt-fer it
go to = over yonder
back = back yonder
help = hep me out here
stop = ternit off
start = crank it up
settings = sittins
programs = stuff at does stuff
documents = stuff I done done
