Best error message ever was in an alpha version public domain game many years ago, I don’t remember the exact wording but it said something like “f*ck yourself in the knee, stop eating my pizzas and write proper error messages!”

You forgot one, from Linux kernel:

Kernel panic: I have no root and I want to scream

MaOS 8 (perhaps 7) had a humourous error nobody seems to know about:

“The alias file couldn’t be used because it isn’t really an alias. (whoops)”

It may have said “oops” instead of “whoops” but that’s the gist of it. Maybe someone with an OS8 machine could go digging for this?

That’s not either Times Square or Penn Station – it’s the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan.

In DOS when the computer would lock up you would get what my buddies and I called the Black Screen Of Death. A void where nothing can come back from. Black and Death go hand in hand and when WIndows 95 came along the “Blue” SoD just took over without skipping a beat.

It’s not error messages that have infuriated me the most, not even the annoying “Guru meditation” on my Amiga 500. Why got my goat was Microshaft blaming users for their own poor programming. After rebooting from a crash, Lose95 and Lose98 would state:

“Windows was not shut down properly.”

Microshaft was inferring that it was the user’s action, not a crash by the operating system despite the fact that was the cause 99.99% of the time. If Bill Gates were to be smacked in the face with a frying pan for every instance where he blamed the users for his OS’s crashes, he would have been dead years before USB was a gleam in anyone’s eye.

There was an old joke in the 1990s about Windoze and crashes that was based on a fact. Windoze would count in 32 bits, one bit for every second. Doing the math, 2^32-1 bits would equal or 49.7 days. In other words, if Windoze were left running for 49.7 days, it would crash.

Windoze 95 could run for seven weeks without crashing? It could barely manage seven hours.

BIOS LBA Support is a great error to encounter.
