Most of you know the Blue Screen of Death, but do you know
the Gray Screen of Death?


Reenactment


You're on your computer, minding your own business, when suddenly --- the screen turns gray, and you can't do anything to fix it short of rebooting. The only suitable reaction when encountering the Gray Screen of Death is a hearty "ARRRRRGGGGGHHHH."

4. mac os X
I am afraid to even look for a graphic, but the curser turns into this rainbow striped circle that spins as if to say "isn't this much more interesting than running anything on your computer? No? Well too bad sucker I have disabled your ability to input anything HAHAHA"
