No you won't stop there we know you far to well for that.

besides you forgot to ask for the source code for their BSOD program. That's one I really miss on OSX and Linux, and I would love to port it.

peragrin, the BSOD screensaver which is still part of the xscreensaver project was quite a nice try. but nothing like the "real thing"(TM), I'll give you that... ;-)

I loved the BSOD screen saver! It was awesome. There was even a version that allowed for someone to "reboot" the screen saver, and watch a phoney DOS session start an endless checkdisk :)

I thought that's what the MSN CD was. I guess I'll put it with my collection of AOL CDs.
