New Windows error msgs

They could've at least changed OS/2 to Linux if trying to update this for Windows 7.

I'm sure I remember reading some of these in Amiga Format (or a similar mag) back in the day.

Windows 3.1? I remember them since I was using MS-DOS 3.3!

No, but it is incorrect.

The IBM error message was "Keyboard Error: Keyboard not detected. Press F1 to continue"

Which of course was perfectly plausible, as it paused the system in a state whereby plugging in your DIN or PS/2 keyboard would still be accepted by the BIOS, and thus allowing you to connect and press F1 to continue.

Why is it when the first reply to a thread is along the lines of lame, everyone else follows suit. Old, unfunny, blah. Those are some pretty decent jokes from the OP.

Perhaps the OP should start a new thread so we can all go LMAO.

Yep, I know, but it still cracked me up everytime I saw it
