With thanks to the lister who sent it to me, I'd like to share some lore of
my "native land". This came from someone in Arkansas, but you can substitute
another State if you want.....

WINDOWS 2000 ARKANSAS EDITION
Dear Consumers:
It has come to our attention that a few copies of the WINDOWS 2000 ARKANSAS
EDITION may have
accidentally been shipped outside of the STATE of ARKANSAS.
If you have one of these, you may need help understanding the commands. The
ARKANSAS EDITION may
be recognized by the unique opening screen. It reads: WINDERS 2000, with a
background picture 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"
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 ARKANSAS EDITION:
Cancel............stopdat

We regret any inconvenience it may have caused. If you received a copy of the
