BSoD...screensaver? Check it out!
« on: October 20, 2006, 12:24 AM »
Ok, this has to be the most hilarious program that I have ever seen that is standalone, tiny and free.
It is a Windows Screensaver (just open it, it is a .scr file (I think .scr was what it said)) but what it does is it opens the infamous BSoD (and it is so good at what it does I honest to goodness thought that it was a virus bacause it was the exact Stop error screen I have seen from my computer a few months back!!!) using data collected from your computer. It is so good "it can be used to fool IT's, or mess with friends". And it does. I had to hit the Windows key to exit it (Esc can be used though) because I thought the thing was a REAL BSoD.
Here is the link...

Excellent screen saver!  I can't wait to "Show" my wife . . . just as soon as she steps away from her PC.

Definitelly fantastic, i have a friend of mine who uses it as screensaver and he still fools people with it. Notice that "people" includes me, lots of people who even know he uses that screensaver and even himself sometimes.

It's that kind of thing that even the computer owner can forget ;)
