Wouldn't it be nice to know how to fix the blue screen of death?

Yes, Diane: Get a Mac or a Unix box! (I'm married to a Mac man. <vbg>)
Seriously (before Eric gets me for the above comment), my home PC frequently
flashes the blue screen of death. It's an old box, and I overloaded it with
software. Had to remove many of them. However, the Microsoft Knowledge Base
truly helped me diagnose many of the problems. I just entered the error
message into the Search field, and usually found a helpful answer. [ http://support.microsoft.com ]
Santa will give me a new computer the end of this year. I look forward to
it!
