It must make one proud to work for a company that has entered not just one but two highly notable error warnings into popular culture
That end with “…of death,” to boot. Bob Howard couldn’t do better.
If only HD-DVD ended with “of Death” they would have the trifecta.
While MS has been steadfastly behind HD-DVD from the start, it was devolved by Toshiba. So not quite as bad, but still…it did die…sniff

What the hell, mine does a BlueSOD. :mad:

Ah, ok - now I don’t feel like I have a substandard crashing OS… uh, wait.
That is one of the features on VISTA premium. User customizable screens of death. Blue, red, which ever color you wish.
Please - as far as errors go, its all about the Amiga and its unwelcome visitor from the east.
