At on of the
LAN parties, after some 3-4
beers, discussion went to "
Microsoft" theme. We
chatted a bit and then started talking about different
GPF's we got at one point or the other. The best story that I've heard that evening was about an
Abnormal Program Termination of
notepad!
After the party, one of my frineds(
antonz) ended up being too
drunk to drive home, so we decided that he'll stay overnight in my basement, and help me fix my
computer (which I had
fucked up wery recently).
Getting to the point - Somewere during the procces of re-
installing all the
shit over and over again,
Notepad, for the first time in my life, gave me an
Illegal Operation Message!
Considering that I first heard that
notepad CAN do that trick only about 6 hours ago, that was some weird
coincidence.
My frined is a
MicroSoft hater, so he immediately took the
screenshot,
pasted it in M$
paint, and tried to
save it!
Guess, what hapened next??
Paint
crashed too!!!
Fortunately enough, I was able to get a
screenshot of Crashed
Paint with the
message of
crashed notepad inside.
Point being?
M$
Windows is trying to hide it's most
miserable mistakes!
