just so that you know that this isn't original. I don't want to be called a cheater.

Microsoft Announcement.
It has come to Microsoft's attention that a number of copies of our specialist North East of England operating systems have accidentally been shipped outside of their designated area. Anyone who has been mistakenly sold a copy of this software may have some problems navigating the desktop and some of the commands.
If you think you may have purchased this piece of software, we will be happy to replace it for you on receipt of the serial number and your address but in the meantime you may find some of the following explanations helpful while you wait for your replacement disc to arrive.
The first thing you will have noticed is that the setup screens display the title 'Windaz 98' and a graphic of a Brown Ale bottle superimposed on an image of the Tyne bridge (the package also comes with a free rotating Brown Ale bottle screensaver) and once installed some of the features are a little different.
The Recycle Bin is relabelled 'S**te'
The Dialup Networking is called 'Me Mates'
The Control Panel is now 'B****ring aboot wi' the settin's'
My Documents is relabelled 'Me S**te'
Also some of the features refered to in the manual are as follows:
Ah cannit dee it = help
Owa there = goto
Wor hoose = home
Dee it again = back
Cullarin book = graphic package
Addin masheen = calculator
Dole = accounting package
Toon = pre-programmed spreadsheet of NUFC's match scores
Bevvy = local off-licenses by post-code and Brown Ale prices
Porn = Internet Explorer

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
LOVE it....
