Many many thanks.
Kind of like the old slackware installer. (Holy poop that was
a long time ago)
O yes I remember the old windows blue death screen,
dang that was my most dreaded state of computing, uhh
or non-computing should I say?
I wonder, what in heck caused such a state?
Unless I miss my guess, it is not too different
from a freeze, except that when it bluescreened,
it just knew it was doing it. I wonder, I heard from
an "inside source" that the windows source code
is very spaghettied, --- is this true?
The dude I talked to used to work for M$ so
I had guessed he knew what he was talking about,
like there was *still* old 286 (and older??) code
in windows 95, now 98 I don't think he knew
about or I just did not ask.
