I've put in 14 bareroot roses this spring. I wanted 12 but 2 died. The others look like they will make it. Why do your roses die over the winter? Is it too cold? Walter from HK does not think he is up to Coffee Shop. Geez! R we that Bad? Have you heard of Winders 98, The Oklahoma Version? Oklahoma's Edition of Windows 98 It has come to our attention that a few copies of the Oklahoma Edition of Windows 98 May have accidentally been shipped outside Oklahoma. If you have received the Oklahoma Edition in error, but still wish to use it, you may need some help understanding the special commands and terminology. The Oklahoma Edition can be recognized by the opening screen. It reads WINDERS 98, with a background picture of a prairie dog superimposed on an Okla. Flag. It is shipped with a Daisy Duke screen saver. * The Recycle Bin is labeled "Outhouse" * My Computer is called "This Infernal Contraption" * Dialup Networking is called "Good Ol' boys" * Control Panel is known as "The Durn Dashboard" * Hard Drive is referred to as "4-Wheel Drive" * Floppies are referred to as "Them little ole' plastic disk thangs" * Instead of an error message, you get a window covered with a garbage bag and duct tape. Other commands and terms differ as follows: OK = 'ats aw-right cancel = hail no reset = aw shoot yes = shore no = naaaah 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 Also note that Winders 98 does not recognize capital letters or punctuation marks. If you received a copy of the Oklahoma Edition, you may return it to Microsoft for a copy of the standard version. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused you. Who is Daisy Duke? Mephisto
