Brooklynese from Bill Gate$
How Bill Would Write a Letter ...
Dear Consumas:
It has come ta our attention dat a coupola copies of the Windows
(Brooklyn Edition) may have accidentally bin shipped outsida Brooklyn.
If ya got one a dese, you may need some help understandin' da commands.
Da Brooklyn edition may be recognized by da unique openin' screen. It
reads: "Windas" wit a background picture of Grand Army Plaza. When you
start da program, instead of da usual "harpy, stringy" music, you hear
da teme from da Godfadda. It is also shipped wit a Sopranos screen sava.
Please also note:
-Recycle Bin is labeled "Staten Island."
-My Computer is called "My Friggin' Computa."
-The Inbox is referred to as "Da Trunk."
- Deleted Items are referred to as "Wacked," "Erased," or "Rubbed Out."
- Dial up Networking is called "Da Bar."
- Control Panel is known as the "Da Bosses."
- Performin' an "illegal operation" is known 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.
