Random BSOD from changing... absolutely fucking nothing, then spending 2 days trying to recover, before saying fuck it and reinstalling windows, so you can play WC1 or D1....good old days.

Also printers can suck it. 20 years ago maintaining a fucking print server was bullshit.... I'd rather deal with BES for another 100 years.

Sometimes I'd put a floppy disk in. It had 1.jpg crushed down to be 256 colors. Pam Anderson.

For the longest time it would crash windows 95 when I put it in the drive and opened the folder.

It had a "-" dash in the title....I took that out and no more blue screening.

Thanks Bill Gates....

Lol I might have to take that back....BES was a pile of epic smoldering shit...even the engineers would tell me it was shit. I'm pretty sure I reinstalled that damn thing a thousand times. It was like winning the lottery when the CEO finally wanted and iPhone and then forced the reset of the company to android or iPhone... myself and my junior admin had beers in the office when we got the last user off it and got to shut it down on a Friday. Best day ever.
