[GRLUG] BSOD

[Rich Nagel]

BSOD = Blue Screen Of Death

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

Reminds one of "Guru Meditation Mode" from the old C= Amgia days. :)

  OK,  Obviously I'm not the communicator that I thought I was.... my bad.... 

  Here's some parting shots (at me) before I finally let this go.....sometimes I am helpful TO A FAULT... 

  Proffessor- 

  I'm sorry.  The "breaka you face" line, is a slang term used in hollywood mafia movies to warn people of impending pain. 
  I should have been more cogniciant of your english slang knowledge base.  It won't happen again. 

  Tim- 

  I'm 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.  ;-) 

  George- 
  "yoeman service" ?  I doubt  it.   I'm just a ol' phart 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".   
  Yeah, my wife rolls her eyes like that, too.  ;-) 

  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. 
  I haven't asked THIS group anything....YET!   But I'm about to...  Just to point out again, my extreeme ignorance.  ;-) 

  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.
