It has come to our attention that a few copies of the Appalachian edition of Windows 98 may have accidentally been shipped outside of the Appalachian area.
If you have one of the West Virginia editions, you may need some help understanding the commands. This edition may be recognized by looking at the opening screen. It reads WINDERS 98 with a background picture of the General Lee superimposed on a Confederate flag. It is shipped with a Daisy Duke screen saver.
Also note the 'Recycle Bin' is labeled Outhouse, 'My Computer' is called This Infernal Contraption, 'Dialup Networking' is called Good Ol' Boys, 'Control Panel' is known as The Dern Dashboard, 'Hard Drive' is referred to as 4 wheel drive, and 'floppies' are Them little ole plastic disc thangs.
Other features:
Instead of a error message you get a winder covered with a garbage bag and duct tape.
