I had an hour to kill at Heathrow once, so I decided to count the number of
BSoDs on the check-in monitors.  Of the couple of hundred screens, there
were in the order of about 5% either blue screened or telling me that it was
now safe to turn my computer off.  Pretty disgusting since the purpose of
the screens is the very simple task of indicating which queue belongs to
which airline.
