Seville: Famed for blue skies and now Blue Screens of Death

Today's bork belongs in the dim and distant past – a reminder of when Windows had proper crash screens. Snapped by an eagle-eyed Register reader, this traditional Windows Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) was found in the delightful Spanish city of Seville. What's On screen at a conference center showing a Blue Screen Of Death …

Largo al computum dela cita.

Crash-O! la la la la la.

[Paul Herber]

Worst limerick, ever!

[John Brown (no body)]

There was a BSOD from Redmond

Who's knowledge was up to the second...

When presented a screen full of blue,

With nary a meaningful clue,

Don't let anger feed ya,

Just format your media,

Reinstall, it's the best you can do!

[Homo.Sapien.Floridanus]

It’s opera, not a limerick.

To a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

[Pickle Rick]

Ergo a very bad limerick.....

Old OSs are fine for offline stuff.

Any system that can work happily offline, should be kept offline. Much safer.

Your online system goes TU, you may have been done by malware. The worst you will get with an offline system is the BSoD.

Quite a posh place. The hotels I stay in are more likely to have signage of green crayon on paper, 'Do not feed the rats'.

Inb4 'No, no, no, no, it's hamster'.

COVID

Back during the height of Covid I was sitting in the waiting area of my local clinic. On the wall was a large flat screen scrolling a series of messages about Covid and precautions and informational info. About every 5 minutes it would BSOD and then restart and repeat. All I could think of was wondering if their computer had Covid.

He has many names, but one face — best not to be "at home" should he call.

Where?

Contrary to what you may see on Google maps, there is nowhere in Spain called Seville.

Referring to windows 7 as an "early" version of Windows can't be true, it's only been 5 minutes since it was released!
