If your Windoze machine does a BSOD, it should generate a folder called mini
dump with the contents of the error. There are a number of third party
programs that will load this data and give you an interpretation of the
contents, down to the line of code where the BSOD occurred.

In one sense, and I like them a lot. I used to take 'em apart
in typing class when nobody was looking. Got a couple around
here myself. But they're pretty high-strung. Best in a
Ferrari sense, rather than a 240D sense,

When I was a freshman at Caltech, we had a central computer in the

I have a Selectric here too but it no longer works. I let it sit for a
couple of years and now it needs to be cleaned and lubed. Not sure it is
worth it.
However, I also have one of the IBM Actionwriters with the daisy wheel
instead of the ball. It works fine. Does not feel as solid as the

The IBM 2741 was a communications terminal based on the Selectric platform.
Whether it did RS-232, I don't know.

Ah, probably token-ring networking then?

Big bastard, noisey, and faster than anything but a line printer at
the time.
But we are talking mid 70's. When Xerox came up with the Diablo
daisy wheel, all the Selectric terminals went away, too much
maintenance.

I liked line printers spewing out stacks and stacks of wide paper with
all sorts of indecipherable stuff, esp when you got a core dump when
your program bombed. A woman at NASA actually taught me how to read
core dumps and figure out what bit of code did the nasty, so I could go
back and fix

It has been said that a BSOD used to do the same thing, if one was
privileged enough to know how to decipher it.
I need to brush up on GNU/Linux core dump, would help fir when Sid starts

Ribbons for most everything are available online, even today. Selectric
ribbon cartridges are stocked routinely by Staples etc. About
About the same as my Diablo HyType II!
