Dear Consumas:

It has come ta our attention dat a coupola copies of the WINDOWS98/BRONX EDITION may have accidentally bin shipped outsida Jersey. If ya got one a deese, you may need some help understandin' da commands. Da BRONX edition may be recognized by da unique openin' screen.

It reads: "WINDAS 98," wit a background picture of "down da shore". When you start da program, instead of da usual "harpy, stringy" music, you hear da teme from da Godfadda.

It is also shipped wit a Sopranos screen sava

Please also note:

-Recycle Bin is labeled "Staten Island."
-My Computer is called "My Friggin' Computa."
-The Inbox is referred to as "Da Trunk."
-Deleted Items are referred to as "Wacked," "Erased," or "Rubbed Out."
-Dial up Networking is called "Da Bar."
-Control Panel is known as the "Da Bosses."
-Performin' an "illegal operation" is known as "enhancin' the family business" and will actually maximize WINDOWS98/BRONX EDITION program instead of shuttin' it down.
-Hard Drive is referred to as "Da Turnpike Rush Hour."
-Instead of an error message a "You ain't gonna friggin' believe dis!" pops up.
