Computer Malfunction

This is what happens when you mess about with the network connection on the computer. It chokes. It doesn't like the constant twaddling with the ARP tables, the repeated unlink and relink of the ethernet ports, the enabling and disabling of the port drivers. Eventually, it throws up its hands and gives up.

I haven't seen the BSOD on this laptop for a dog's age, and yet it was somehow comforting to find it on the screen at last, like a long-lost friend. Ah, Windows! How I'll miss you when you're gone!
