Today in Computer History
The "blue screen of death" is the popular phrase for the screen displayed by Microsoft's Windows operating system when it cannot recover from a system error. The phrase is an extension of the "black screen of death" which occurred during the early 1990s on Windows 3.1 systems when a DOS application failed to execute properly.
