Heathrow screen of death
Monday, 22nd Oct 2007.
When my flight landed in London Heathrow this morning, I was greeted at the baggage carousel not with my baggage, but with an amusing (if slightly worrying) message. Behold the Heathrow screen of death! What's going on, anyway — one of the world's biggest airports is using Windows? No wonder the terrorists are getting through: at this rate, Al-Queda will be CTRL + ALT + DEL'ing aeroplanes right out of the sky.
Heathrow screen of death: something about the device on drive c: being unable to be found.
Anyway, not to worry: my baggage, and everyone else's, did arrive shortly. Although the blue-screen message still hung around.
