With Microsoft, who needs the screensaver?! Just leave Windows on your system for a few months & you can have all the fun of the fair for real!

The BSOD is Microsoft innovation, innit - after all these years the Mac and Linux still haven't got it...

The Nr Fairy,

A couple of years ago, I put that screensaver on a couple of friend's computers. The funny thing was, they did not notice. They were just used to the BSODs.

But now it is a different story. With the NT Kernel now mainstream, the BSOD Screensaver does make people jump again.

Take Care,

Richard

Thanks for pointing that one out I haven't seen a BSOD since XP appeared, in fact I can count on one hand the amount of crashes I have had since then also and still have a couple of fingers left over for other uses (e.g. typing in web forums )

Still I can install it on clients machines and convince them they need me to visit to sort out a problem
