Dear Consumers:
It has come to our attention that a few copies of the WINDOWS 98 KENTUCKY EDITION may have been shipped outside of kentucky. If you have one of these, you may need some help understanding the commands.

The kentucky edition may be recognized by the unique opening screen.
It reads: WINDERS 98, with a background picture of Gen. Robert E. Lee superimposed on a confederate flag. It is shipped with a Dukes of Hazzard screen saver.

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 "Dashboard"
Hard Drive is referred to as "4 Wheel Drive"
Floppies are "them little ol plastic disc thangs"
Instead of an error message, a "garbage bag and roll of duct tape" pops up.
