Dear Consumas:

It has come ta our attention dat a coupola copies of the WINDAS 2000/BROOKLYN EDITION may have accidentally bin shipped outsida Brooklyn.
If ya got one a dese, you may need some help understandin' da commands.

The Brooklyn edition may be recognized by the unique openin' screen. It reads: "WINDAS 2000," wit a background picture of Grand Army Plaza. When you start da program, instead of da usual happy, stringy music, you hear da teme from da Godfadda. It is also shipped wit a Sopranos screen saver.

Please also note:

* RECYCLE BIN is labelled STATEN ISLAND.
* MY COMPUTER is called MY FRIGGIN COMPUTE.
* The INBOX is referred to as DA TRUNK,
* Deleted items are referred to as WHACKED, ERASED or RUBBED OUT.
* DIAL-UP NETWORKING is called DA BAR.
* CONTROL PANEL is known as DA BOSSES.
* Performin' an illegal operation is know as ENHANCIN THE 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.
