Dear Consumers:

It has come at our attention dat a cupala copies of the WINDOWS 98/BROOKLYN EDITION may have accidentally bin shipped outsida Brooklyn.

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 start 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,"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'
   da 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

Some programs and udder accessories dat are exclusive to WINDAS 98:
