Yesterday, while waiting for a train to my next job interview, I noticed that the monitor that is supposed to list the train times, had a Blue Screen of Death. Somehow, even though it was not my PC that was displaying the screen, I had that “warm” feeling that only Microsoft knows how to give you when their product fails. You know what I mean, the one that causes your heart to skip a few beats and your mind to say “oh no, not again”. Yea, I get that feeling too often, and I am not even running vista.
I know I know, time to upgrade my phone
You think Hamas was responsible for this?
Update: I did not make up the term “Blue Screen of Death” just to have a good title, that is what it is called. Take a look.

Vista is evil…evil! I think Jeffrey Rowland summarized the vista experience from hell the best (here: http://overcompensating.com/posts/20080827.html): “It’s like somebody just took a good-lookin’ car that ran good and there was nothing wrong with it, and they came in and screwed a bunch of fancy-looking crap to it and redid the wiring so none of the gauges or lights work. They put some fancy, spinny rims on it but crap gets stuck in them and the tires go flat all the time. And then it assumes you’re an idiot so it constant ask you things like “are you sure you want to change the radio station?” Oh look, the cupholder just broke off because the radio is too shiny. Wait, the cupholder came original with the car. Hopefully in a couple of years they’ll make a cupholder that I can replace it with; until then we’ll hold the beer between my legs.”
All I know is, I got my mom a new PC with Vista and if she was paying me by the hour to help her set things up, I would be a very rich man.
Yet another reason to own a Mac!
Yep, Apple loves you for your money; Windows loves you for your time. Sorry Vista, my time is more valuable.
Well, as soon as I could afford a new computer, no doubt it will be a Mac. 🙂
