That screen was localized, so German windows had it translated.
I think it was at HAL 2001 where I bought a black hoodie with the German version of the orange text "You can now safely throw away your computer" from the CCC merch stand or maybe a different one.
I think it took about 10 years until I got the first comment about this weird text by a young coworker who had never experienced it (and also said something), but it got some chuckles and comments over the years, mostly by people who were definitely old enough to have seen this in person a lot in the late 90s.
