I notice those flat tv's in buses seem to crash a lot (crystaleyes?).

Coming back on the 277 the other night from Highbury, I was 
"entertained" by an MSDOS prompt.

If people actually pay for those adverts, they are being done ;o) I was 
getting sick of Michael Palin anyway.

In Russell Square (I think) there is a bus shelter with a TV embedded
in it, and yes the other night it was showing just a (DOS) directory 
listing.

Makes me wonder why they choose Windows for these things.
