The better one was the Blue Screen of Death! The first time I saw
it on my Linux box I cursed it until I remembered that this was
Linux and it doesn't BSOD. Since I had gotten so use to seeing it
(on Windows boxes) I almost rebooted it right there on the spot. I
decided not to use that screen saver. :-)
