Windows 2000....Brooklyn Edition

<< Dear Consumas:
It has come ta our attention dat a coupola copies of the WINDOWS 2000/BROOKLYN EDITION may have accidentally bin shipped outsida Broooklyn. If ya got one a dese, you may need some help understandin' da commands. Da Brooklyn edition may be recognized by da unique openin'
screen.

It reads: "WINDAS 2000," wit a background picture of Grand Army Plaza. 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 Gambbino Family 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 da program instead of shuttin' it down.
- Hard Drive is referred to as "Da BQE Rush Hour."
- Instead of an error message a "You ain't gonna friggin' believe dis!" pops up.

CHANGES IN TERMINOLOGY IN DA BROOKLYN EDITION:
OK...................Sure ting
Cancel...........Fugetaboutit
