Re: New Names

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure, W2K Pro now gives you the
WSOD, i.e. White Screen Of Death. Yes friends, they changed the color! So
*of course* you won't get the BSOD. BTW, my sister just got a new PC with
W2K Pro, and right out of the box it froze twice, both times apparently
having to do with Dial Up Networking. One was actually pretty interesting --
while it was shutting down DUN, I hit ctl-Esc and it started painting the
start menu. It froze with a ghost image of the start menu showing.
