Windows 98 Southern Edition
Dear Consumers:

It has come to our attention that a few copies of the
WINDOWS 98 SOUTHERN EDITION may have inadvertently 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
art of General Robert E. Lee superimposed on a Confederate flag. It
is shipped with a Dukes of Hazard screen saver.

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 disc thangs."
Instead of an error message, a garbage bag and roll
of duct tape pops up.
