Re: Great error messages

Back in 1996 I was working on a Mac, I think it was a PowerPC 7500, and it *constantly* bombed on me.

The funny thing was the error message, something like this: A bomb icon and the text "System error". And a button which said "Reboot".

It would typically happen after writing a 3000 character article and hitting the Save button.

Yep, ever heard the one about the helicopter pilot in the fog, that couldn't find his passenger's destination?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
