Re: BSOD?

Hello Jim,

It changed from Black to Blue when Micros~1 decided to pretend that NT wasn't 
OS/2.  An OS/2 
kernel trap causes a black screen of death but doesn't happen often.  Windoze 
falls over so 
often that blue was chosen because it is a pacifying colour.  That's why 
Windoze users are so 
tolerant of the OS shortcomings.  Bugger! Windoze froze and I've lost all my 
work -- blue, 
blue, pretty blue -- "I feel better now!" (that would make a good song).

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
