m00n Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Dear Consumers: It has come to our attention that a few copies of the WINDOWS 2000 TEXAS EDITION may have accidentally been shipped outside of the state of Texas. If you have one of these, you may need some help understanding the commands. The TEXAS EDITION may be recognized by the unique opening screen. It reads: WINDERS 2000, with a background picture of Willie Nelson superimposed on the Alamo. 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 thangs." Instead of an error message, "Duct tape" pops up. CHANGES IN TERMINOLOGY IN TEXAS EDITION: Cancel............stopdat Reset..............try'er agin Yes..................yep No...................nope Find.................hunt fer it Go to...............over yonder Back................back yonder Help.................hep me out here Stop..................kwitit Start.................crank'er up Settings............settins Programs..........stuff at duz stuff Documents.......stuff ah done did Also note that the TEXAS EDITION does not recognize capital letters or punctuation marks. Some programs that are exclusive to WINDERS 2000: Tiperiter.....................a word processing program Colerin' Book.............a graphics program Cyferin' mersheen.....calculator Outhouse paper.........notepad Inner-net....................Microsoft Explorer 5.0 Pitchers......................a graphics viewer We regret any inconvenience it may have caused if you received a copy of the TEXAS EDITION. You may return it to Microsoft for a replacement version. I hope this heps all ya'll! Billy Bob Gates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Hey now! I am a Texan! Funny though because the new Microsoft Windows operating system is code named LongHorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GooseChaser Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 I've heard longhorn will replace windows or completely branch out just to bypass all of the anti-trust documents as they refered to "Windows Operating System" and not "Microsoft Operating System". any of this true?

djk Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Three engineers are traveling to a tradeshow by car. It quits. The electrical engineer suggests they check for spark. The chemical engineer suggests they check for gas. The software engineer suggests they all get out of the car, get back in, and try it again.
