Windows XP, New Jersey Edition

Dear Consumas:

It has come ta our attention dat a cupola copies of the Windows XP New Joisey Edition may have been shipped outsida Joisey. If ya got one a dese, you may need some help unnerstanin da commands. Da Joisey edition may be recognized by da unique openin' screen. It reads: "Windas XP", wit a background pitcha a Hoboken. When yous start da program, instead a da usual harpy, stringy-like music, you hear a little Springsteen. It's also shipped wit a Sopranos screen sava.

Please also note:
Recycle Bin is labeled "Newark."
My Computer is called "My Friggin' Computa."
Inbox is referred to as "Da Trunk."
Deleted items are referred to as "Wacked", "Erased" or "Rubbed Out."
Control Panel is known as "The Bosses."
Performing an illegal operation is known as "Enhancin' da Family Business" and will actually maximize da program instead a shuttin' it down.
Hard Drive is referred to as "Da Turnpike on Da Way to Da Shore."
Instead of an Error Message, "You Ain't Gonna Friggin' Believe Dis" pops up.

Changes in Terminology in Da Joisey Edition:
OK . . . . .....Sure ting
Cancel . . . . Fugetaboutit
Reset . . . .. Start ova
Yes . .. .. . .Yeah
No . . . . .Nah
Find . . . ....Put a Contract Out On

We regret any inconvenience it may have caused if you mistakenly got a copy of the Joisey Edition (not). You may return it to Microsoft for a replacement version.

1. Yes, I do have a problem.
Nobody from here calls it Joisey unless they've got water on the brain.
