It has come to our attention that a few copies of the WINDOWS 7 TEXAS EDITION may have accidentally been shipped outside the STATE of TEXAS.
If you have one of these, you may need help understanding the commands. The TEXAS EDITION may be recognized by the unique opening screen. It reads: WINDERS 7, with a background of Willie Nelson superimposed on a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Please also note:
The Recycle Bin is labeled “Outhouse”
My Computer is called “This Dern Contraption”
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
No – nope
Find – hunt fer it
Go To – over yonder
Back – back yonder
Help – help me out here
Stop – kwitit (WHOA!)
Start – crank’er up
Settings – settins
Programs – stuff dat does 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 7:
Tiperiter – a word processing program
Colerin’ Book – a graphics program
Cyferin’ Mersheen – calculator
Outhouse Paper – notepad
Inner-net – Microsoft Explorer
Pitchers – a graphics viewer
We regret any inconvenince 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 helps all y’all!
