Being Scottish

[ETc|Sparky]

It has come to our attention that a few copies of the Scottish version of Windows 98 may have accidentally been shipped outside Scotland. If you have one of the Scottish editions you may need some help understanding the commands. The Scottish edition may be recognised by the opening screen. It reads: WINDAES 98, Ye Ken, with a picture of William Wallace superimposed on a St. Andrew's Cross, shipped with a Mel Gibson screen saver. If you have a copy of WINDAES 98, you will need to know the following:
Recycle Bin is called "The Bucket." My Computer is called "Yon Computer Thingie."

Dialup Networking is called "Phone the Bhoys."

Control Panel is known as the "Dashboard."

Settings are called "sittins."

Programs are described as "stuff whit daes stuff."

Documents are termed "stuff whit I hive done afore."

Hard Drive is referred to as "the Tractor."

Floppies are referred to as "yon wee plastic dusc things."

In addition, you will find some commands in WINDAES 98 have been slightly altered:

OK = "'ats fine"

Cancel = "na na ma loon"

Reset = "Och ye'd be as weel startin agin"

Yes = "Och aye"

Find = "if ye'd bothered to pit it past in a safe place, ye widnae need to be lookin' for it noo, noo wid ye?"

Go to = "go'n ower 'ere"

Back = "back the wye"
