Do you know the origin of term BSOD aka ?Blue Screen of Death?? Well, the term ?Blue Screen of Death? was not the original acronym for BSOD. The original term meant the ?Black Screen of Death? and was seen when running under Windows 3.0. A user would attempt to run a DOS application and instead of the DOS application running, the entire screen would turn black with a blinking cursor in the top left hand corner of the screen. —Wallace B. McClure —Origin of BSOD [‘Blue Screen of Death’] (All About Wallym)

Yes, it seems that some things–great things, like the BSOD–never change, do they?
Who knew there was actually advanced technology behind Windows 3.0?! I had that on my ’92 Packard Bell… *aie*
Nifty! Although I don’t think I remember Windows 3.0. I was probably in elementary school. Good to know the blue screen of death has survived all the great, new technology.
