Blue Screen
Of Death
(Fatal Error)

The blue screen of death is a rather terrifying display image containing white text on a blue background that is generated by Windows operating systems when the system has suddenly terminated with an error.

The system is locked up and must be restarted. The blue screen may include some hexadecimal values from a core dump that may help determine what caused the crash.

The blue screen of death can strike anywhere.

At the Comdex trade show, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates encountered the blue screen during a demonstration of Windows 98. (He had a spare computer standing by.)

"Windows has crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams."

Until next week, this is your computer guy, changing the world one computer user at a time.

Halloween Safety Tips
"Halloween is an exciting time of year for kids, and we can all make sure that children have a safe holiday with these following tips."

Happy Halloween From Ben & Jerry's
"Most folks familiar with Ben & Jerry's know full well that Halloween is their absolutely most way-favorite time of year."

The History and Customs of Halloween
"One story says that, on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year."

Village Halloween Parade, NYC
"All Those In Costume Are Welcome To Join Hundreds Of Puppets, Bands, Dancers And Artists, And Thousands Of Other New Yorkers In Costumes Of Their Own Creation."

When a Windows system crashes, it produces a screen of information that strikes fear into the hearts of users. This - all too well-known - screen has been coined the "Blue Screen of Death" (BSOD).

Rest assured that if you get this screen, you will know that you received it. Do you see blue...and some letters and numbers? Yep. That's it.

If the BSOD comes up on occasion and that is it, you can typically restart your computer and almost ignore it. In fact, there is a chance that you will press a key to continue and things will work rather fine.

If the BSOD only happens to your computer system on Halloween, then.... hmmmmmm....
