MUNCHKIN'S SATURDAY CORNER # 43












This announcement is in regard to a foul up with Microsoft Windows.


Hey folks, my Daddy asked me to pass the following information along to all of you. It is from a press lease fro Microsoft:



Microsoft Press release:


It has come to our attention that a few thousand copies of the State of Georgia edition of Windows XP have accidentally been shipped to customers outside of Georgia. If you inadvertently received one of the Georgia editions you may be in need of some help understanding the commands and workings of this edition.


You can tell if you have one of the Georgia editions by looking at the opening screen, which looks like the following:


It reads “WINDERS XP” with a logo picture of BUBBA super imposed on a Confederate flag (see picture below). It is shipped with a Daisy Duke screen saver.



Also, please note:

Recycle Bin is labeled “Outhouse”

My Computer is labeled “This infernal contraption”

Dialup Networking is called “Good Ol’ Boys”

Control Panel is called the “Gosh Dern Dashboard”

The Hard Drive is known as “The 4 wheel Drive”

Floppies are “Them thar little ole plastic disc thangs”


Other notable features:


OK = ats aww-right

Cancel = hail no

Reset = aw shoot

Yes = shore

No = Naaa

Find = hunt fer it

Go to = Over yonder

Back = Back yonder

Help = Hep me out here

Stop = Ternit off

Start = Crank her up

Settings = Sittins

Programs = Stuff that does stuff

Documents = Stuff I dun did


Also, “WINDERS XP” does not recognize capital letters or punctuation marks, and in place of an error message you get a winder covered with a garbage bag and loads of duct tape.


We sincerely regret any inconvenience it may have caused if you received a copy of the Georgia edition. You may return it to Microsoft for a replacement version.








See y’all next week, Lord willing and the Creek don’t rise.
