<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The BSOD is characterized by a blue screen with a
usually cryptic message in white letters at the top of the screen. Very
popular in the Windows NT days and still highly fashionable in most Microsoft
operating systems. :P</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Reminds one of "Guru Meditation Mode" from the
old C= Amgia days. :)</FONT></DIV>

sorry you don't consider the "Users GROUP" as a single unit. Doesn't the
group at least have an informal if not formal charter, to foster the
acceptance of Linux, & to increase it's user base. I realize group
dynamics can't be totally void of personal agendas, but at least in the GROUP
setting, I thought by deffinition, they should play a subordinate role.
I'm glad you help where you can, but in your email, you made it sound as
though you were part of only a small minority. I doubt that's the case
& hence, that whole "benefit of the doubt" thing. ;-)</FONT>

that likes to butt in where he thinks he can offer an idea that maybe others
have missed... NOT because anybody ASK for his opinion. If I wait till
they ask, it'd be too late, they would have already made "a horrible mistake".
</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Yeah, my wife rolls her eyes
like that, too. ;-)</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>And that
site that offered no help.... that wasn't THIS group. I asked the
question "rephrased a bit" a week later & got a little bit better
response. </FONT><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I haven't asked THIS group
anything....YET! But I'm about to... Just to point out again, my
extreeme ignorance. ;-) </FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Now,
having blabbed waaaaay more that I'd intended... WHAT exactly is a
BSOD? How do I know if mine is failing, about to fail, or if I even have
one at all? Thanks. Feel free to email me if you don't see the
need to burden the entire GRLUG board with the answer. Thanks.</FONT>
