Error Message

I thought I'd test out the new file hosting thing which the Spoke provides. Here is an error message that I'm sure you'd like to see:

Wierd stuff. It worked fine for me but that doesn't prove anything. BTW I hope you clicked the Send Error Report button. Microsoft really does look at that stuff. Of course one of the things they have found is that a surprising number of problems that get reported are the result of hardware failure. But we've been able to fix a lot of issues in software from this input.

I agree. Sending that error report would really liven up their day =)

Hmm. Only joking. I contrived to crash my machine by cunning use of USB devices and thought it might be fun to fiddle with the bitmap of the message. I remember some time back seeing a very good presentation about how the error reporting thing came about. Apparently some software writers let the messages go back when their programs fail so that microsoft "can fix their problems"....
