Actually, most of these appear to be from earlier versions of Windows. I don't think I've ever had a BSOD with Win2K, XP or the Vista betas.

That's cute.  Many were the times when I'd flip to "the channel channel" (local cable TV running a "now playing" software package on an A500 with genlock) only to see a guru meditation flashing up on the screen.

Damn confusing the first time it happened.  I looked over at my 500 on my desk...looked back at the TV...looked over at the 500 on the desk...looked back at the tv...:-D

If we all designed a operating system to run on a 286 and ran it on a 3ghz machine it would feel GREAT.

Not true. It would still be just plain old DOS.  Just faster.  I could drop a 400 small block into Grannie's station wagon, but you'd still have...grannie's station wagon.  

Wrong.

He said "let's design..."

There's other OS's than DOS that'll run on a '286, y'know.
