Dear Consumas:
It has come ta our attention dat just maybe a coupola
copies of the WINDOWS 98/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 98," wit a background picture of Grand Army
Plaza. When you starta 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,"
"Wasted" 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.

Instead of an error message........ yo gonna see a
