About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Monday, February 23, 2004Origin of BSODWallace B. McClure: "Do you know the origin of term BSOD aka 'Blue Screen of Death'? Well, the term “Blue Screen of Death” was not the original acronym for BSOD. The original term meant the 'Black Screen of Death' and was seen when running under Windows 3.0. A user would attempt to run a DOS application and instead of the DOS application running, the entire screen would turn black with a blinking cursor in the top left hand corner of the screen. The system was hung and would need to be rebooted. So, that is the what, what about the when and the where. The term came from ..........are you ready.........Coca-Cola in Atlanta, GA."
