Default New Jersey edition of Windows XP......

Thought "yous guys" would like this....

RE: NJ EDITION OF WINDOWS XP

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 of Hoboken. When yous
start da program, instead of 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 Computa"

The 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 of shuttin' it
down.

Hard Drive is referred to as "Da turnpike on da way to da shore"

Instead of an error message a "You ain't gonna 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
Browse........Get a looksee
Back...........U-Toin
Help...........Get your own ansa
Stop............Knock it off
Start............Move it
Settings.......Here's da rules

We regret any inconvenience it may have caused if you mistakenly got a
copy of the JOISEY EDITION.

You may return it to Microsoft for a replacement version. YOU GOT A
PROBLEM WIT DAT?

(By da way, spellcheck is a nightmare wit da JOISEY edition dey still
haven't worked out all da bugs)

When you're using this, do you have to stop every 5 minutes to pay a toll?

That version sounds very similar to the Staten Island and Brooklyn versions I think.

Gay, not to mention Newark has come a long way. They are doing a lot to that city to make it nice. They will even be getting there own stadium. By the way, it would make more sense if it was about Brooklyn. The funny talking people are from NY, not NJ. We are the ones making all the money.

recycle bin = paterson or camden would be more fitting than newark - as stated above, newark is in the midst of a revival

Not entirely true.... you can still restore items out of the Recycle Bin.

Camden is the eternal hell that the file goes to and never comes back (i.e. when you delete items out of recycle bin)

Camden is permanent delete. I was in Newark for a wedding 2 years ago and it didnt exactly evoke revival. Atlantic City's ghetto is keeping it real too.

great, camden got a stadium, even got a minor league baseball team to go in it. you can see how it really turn that town around
i would around northeast philly everyday. even though i am only 15minutes from home you can tell you aren't in jersey anymore. there are phrases and mannerisms that are all ours. nothing to do with the benny's that visit the shore every summer or the philly "yo" crowd.
words like you'z, bro, ornge, bawl, wutter, yestaday....(the list goes on and on) are distinctly jersey.
best part about jersey is that the only people who are proud to be here are the ones from here. you can tell the outsiders by their stupid complaints about wnating to pump their own gas and not understanding traffic circles and jug handles.
it is fun to be different AND have more to offer than any other state in the country. born, raised, and will prolly die proudly in dirty jersey
