That has to be staged.

Assuming they are networked,

it doesn't say much about the skills of the network administrator,

does it?

Yeah, I agree - it is probably a staged photo.

I know you think you understand what you thought I said,
but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!

Regardless if it's staged, I think it's funny :thumbsup:

. Everyone hates those darn bsod's.

When I'm asking for help, please explain, in detail, every step. Thank you :).
I have nightmares about computer glitches and bugs.

Yeah.

Also, notice that it appears to be a classroom environment.

Maybe they are being taught what to do when they see a BSOD?

Does anybody remember the fake bsod screensaver? the one that gave the fake win98 bsod. it certainly looks an awful lot like that.

The name says it all -- 59 and holding permanently

I saw something like this happen once. It was a computer class, and the teacher had a switch which made all screens show what was on the teachers screen. Then his machine BSODed and the whole class was staring at a blue screen.

Yeah, my brother and I had a falling out and hadn't talked for a couple of years and after reconciling our differences I did some up dates on his computer...for free, and while I was at it I installed the screen saver. :thumbsup:

Maybe, but it seems to be an elementary classroom, probably k-3rd grade (tiny chairs)... If its not staged...then sucks to be them!

The screen on all of the computers is called the BSOD, or the Blue Screen of Death. It usually happens when the computer is in critical condition, and usually there is no saving it... So ALL of these computers are pretty much screwed, its just funny to see all of these BSODs in one room.

Some folks see humor in other's suffering, and in this case,

maybe we believe that every time a BSOD happens,

Microsoft's influence on the force is diminished?
