I was on the third hole of Albatross18′s White Wiz course. Albatross18, for those unfamiliar, is an online multiplayer golf game. It’s a fun game to play with my sisters. I pressed the spacebar to begin my shot. Suddenly, I got the much-dreaded blue screen of death. This is not a common occurence. I use a Lenovo ThinkPad with Windows XP, and I often run it for days at a time without problems. Not so this time. And it was a double pang weekend, too! Oh well. See Microsoft’s explanation after the break.
