# I managed to get a BSOD

# we got loadsa tem things here
like most payphones here are touchscreen thingies which are very cool, but every so often you see a crashed one with a bsod, a fat error message or a bunch of dos crap.

# it wasn't a fat error though
it was just a normal computer with normal windows. i would have investigated, but i could see the engineer coming.

# just out of interest
is there such a thing as a FAT error, or did you understand my colloquialism as what it was?

# i imagine there is
since it's a type of hard disk format, but i was guessing you meant fat as in big fuckoff.

# There's a cashpoint across the road
that's had a DHCP server error on the screen for months now. You can still use it, but you've got to guess what's hidden behind the error message.

# I see them
on railway info boards all the time. NTK used to do a semi-regular feature where people would send in pics of BSODs they'd seen in the wild
