It is also shipped wit a Sopranos screen sava. Please also note: -Recycle Bin is labeled "Staten Island." -My Computer is called "My Friggin' Computa." -The Inbox is referred to as "Da Trunk." - Deleted Items are referred to as "Wacked," "Erased," or "Rubbed Out." - Dial up Networking is called "Da Bar." - Control Panel is known as the "Da Bosses." - Performin' an "illegal operation" is known as "enhancin' the family business" and will actually maximize da program instead of shuttin' it down. - Hard Drive is referred to as "Da BQE Rush Hour." - Instead of an error message a "You ain't gonna friggin' believe dis!" pops up.
