| TO
ALL THOSE WHO FORMERLY RESIDED IN BROOKLYN:
Dear Consumers:
It has come to our
attention that a few copies of the WINDOWS 98 BROOKLYN EDITION may have
accidentally been shipped outside Brooklyn.
If you have one of
these, you may need some help understanding the commands. The Brooklyn
edition may be recognized by the unique opening screen.
It reads: "WINDAS
98," with a background picture of Grand Army Plaza. When you start
the program, instead of the usual "harpy, stringy" music, you
hear the theme from the Godfather. It is also shipped with a Sopranos
screen saver.
Please also note:
The Recycle Bin is
labeled "Bedford Stuyvesant."
My Computer is called "My
Friggin' Computer."
The Inbox is referred to as "The
Trunk."
Deleted items are referred to as "Wacked,"
"Erased," or "Rubbed Out."
Dial up Networking is
called "The Bar."
Control Panel is known as the "The
Bosses."
Performing an "illegal operation" is known as
"enhancing the family business" and will actually maximize the
program instead of shutting it down.
Hard Drive is referred to as
"The BQE Rush Hour."
Instead of an error message a "You
ain't gonna friggin' believe this!" pops up.
