Windows 98 Brooklyn Edition

It has come to our attention that a few copies of the Brooklyn version of

Windows 98 may have accidentally been shipped outside New York. If you have

one of the Brooklyn editions you may need some help understanding the

commands.

opening screen.

with a floating body. It is shipped with a 'NYPD BLUE' screensaver.
