Sometimes the weirdest things happen nowadays, and I just have to shake my head and laugh.
We stayed at the Paris in Las Vegas one night after visiting my parents in Arizona cuz our flight left McCarran early the next day. And so we were trying to watch TV.
The TV Crashed!!
Yes, we got the familiar Windows msgbox on the TV showing the typical useless garbled error explanation. How the heck can a TV /crash/???
So I rebooted and that fixed it. Let me say that again for effect. I REBOOTED my TV!!!
This world has gone Windows happy. I'm gonna take some aspirin now and pretend its 1958 again, and the only thing you boot is the cat...
:D :D :D

Hi Jewels!! I grew up on Apple, but somehow or other I ended up on the user-hostile PC. Ah well, ya can't choose your OS :D
When I was developing games for vid consoles, I used the Mac alot, You could say MPW and I were fast friends. I loved the fact that you could swap cards so easily, while the stupid PC had a gazillion screws and way too many dip switches.
I really liked the musical chord error msgs, since I love music anyway. Sure beats the dreaded bluescreen...
Cheers all!!
