I remember seeing on YouTube some US TV station that had closed down but had one of those rotating powerpoint style presentations(similar to ITV nighttime) to fill some time. I can't find it now and I thought I'd posted it at the blue place but I can't find it there so maybe I dreamt it.
Anyway the computer generating this they'd put straight to air - and it blue-screened for no obvious reason (much like a lot of blue screens in Windows really), so live on air the computer restarted, went through its POST, reconfigured itself, did some Windows setup type stuff (presumably it had done a Windows update at some point), was full of "bug me every time I want to run this program" notifications all over the screen and then recovered back to the presentation it had just thrown a strop over.
