RazerBack Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 We see monitors almost everywhere, in our daily lives. It's kinda funny seeing a BSOD, where you least expect it. In Vancouver while purchasing a Skytrain ticket, I noticed on one of the terminals that has a touchscreen so you can choose what zone you want to go to. I saw a BSOD on one and when it rebooted I saw that the OS was NT4. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null_ Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Walked into the local RadioShack a few months ago and 3 of the Compaq desktops had BSODed and one of the laptops had a Blaster/Sasser style shutdown message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerino Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I was in best buy the other day, and saw one of their more expensive Sony Vaio's with BSOD, I guess the demo systems arent setup to restart when crashed :p and I see Bsod in radioshack all the time, compaqs suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueshirt Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Computers here in school are prone to BSOD. Anyway, I saw one in the display computers of one of the computer shops/repair in a mall. Pretty embarassing I might say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibwar Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 This one was quite funny, I was at the drive thru at Wendys, and on the screen where they show your order (a LCD high color display) - and they had a Kernel Panic!!!! it was sooo funny! and great to see Linux being used in a new manner! :woot: What made it even funnier, is it was scrolling the kernel panic. (the display was oriented vertically so the messages were scrolling along the bottom left to right). I only wish I had my digital camera with me.... oh well! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted June 16, 2004 Subscriber² Share Posted June 16, 2004 I was at a cashpoint a few months back (UK). A guy was in the queue a few people in front of me. He had input his card, asked for cash, and then all of a sudden the NT4 Workstation "Shutting down" screen came up for about a minute, then the whole system just shutdown. No card returned, no cash, nothing. I was fairly suprised. He was pretty annoyed! He didn't seem to take any solice in my intrigue that they were using NT4, I assumed it would have been some embedded technology. He didn't want to discuss it, strangely enough ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunamonkey Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Always on cash points in the uk. And it's always when you really need money. I never see them in shops. Although I did see a girl in Thomas Cook have NTLDR missing error when she booted her PC. "Unlucky" is all I can say to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
