i saw something that made me wish i had my digicam with me
you know the boards at airports with the flight times on them? i saw one in a BSOD saying "write error to drive C:"

ah well i only saw it once
i have seen one of those bt internet payphone stand kiosk things though which was't working - it had crashed out of the payphone mode and gone back to a normal windows 98 machine.

I managed to get a BSOD
From a quiz machine in a pub two weeks in a row. Both times the bastard thing owed me money...

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.

You lunatic

I avoided it for weeks
but then I saw others using it and getting money out successfully, so I bit the bullet.

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
