The green skid mark of living death

Yes microsoft has come a long ways since their salad days of windows 95 and the delightful blue screen of death....


I especially am delighted when it does the above almost interminably and then fails with a cryptic error message. At those times one has no recourse but to google for the silly error messages only to find there is no recourse but to wait for some faceless guru to deign to respond to your pitiful situation. No I don't have the fancy latest generation win 10 stuff in my house and I will not. When they stop supporting windows 7 it will truly be end of life for microsoft products at my house.

MORE About Me...

My dad called me Timbocephus from time to time when I was growing up. He was a Hank Williams fan at some point I believe.

Of course everyone recognizes the "Timbo" nickname. But going deeper into mid 20th century popular culture we find that Hank famously stuck the "Bocephus" moniker on his young son Hank Jr. There are several suggested sources for the "Bocephus" and you can find those on line very readily if you google it. Having said that, I like this one Best: The mysterious appelation that became part of American folklore in middle of the last century: Biblical/Latin Etymology: Some trace it back to a neoclassical blend of Beau (French for beautiful) and Cephas (the Aramaic name given to the Apostle Peter, meaning "stone").
