Anyone ever come across error messages whilst being out and about here is a couple i have seen.

Cash machine down the road from where i work, had a Windows NT Warning message saying "Fatal Error"

Was at an airport a year or two ago and the TV displays telling you about flights landing, and boarding gates has crashed and said "Starting MS-DOS 6"

Not an error but I managed to password protect a marquee screensaver once in Dixons when I was younger. I had at least 8 machines showing 'Dixons is shit' scolling across in various fonts and speeds

They (and PC World etc.) now password protect the machines so it just has their demos running now to stop this very thing from happening!
