Feel at ease straight away ! The traditional "Start" button has been replaced with a more familiar term
The "Recycle Bin" has been renamed to something more fitting:
While the "Internet Explorer" now has a more recognisable title:
Nae mair fanny-boy names like "My Documents". Windaes Twa Thoosan' tells it like it is:
An' "C:\ drive" (wits that then?) is now called something a wee bit merr appropriate:
"Yes", "No" & "Cancel" are no longer used.
Several exclusive programmes have been included with 'Windaes Twa Thoosan'
The cullurin in book lets ye dae yer ain pictchurs. Sums lets ye add things up an' gies ye the rite anser, an' the tipe riter lets ye tipe letturs tae yer pals ( 'n' it even cheks yer spelin, bye the way! ).
The computer no longer makes you click an American "OK" but a proper 'Glesga "Aye.. aw right"
Don't be a big diddie, if yae don't know how tae dae somethin' the "Help" facility has been replaced with a merr 'Glesga' friendly version
