Yes, in Win 2000 and XP only incompetent people get blue screens. I've
had Win 2000 running on my other box for about 50 days now without
needing a reboot. It's still as fast as the first minute it loaded up.

So I guess I'm incompetent then, since I got a blue screen after installing
a Microsoft update on my Win2k box. And I suppose the fact that MS had
posted an article about the problem on their knowledgebase makes them
incometent too.

MS removed blue screens from XP with an innovative new technological

I stand by my disgust at that crusty old slapper. I had issues with her
and dealt with them. Hopefully she wont expose her skanky breast in my

a) Your wallet being raided
