There's a lot to love about Wikipedia, and for geeks this page describing the various types of "screens of death" might just push that love into overdrive.

While most people are familiar with the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) in Windows, there are a number of other colors that are also associated with severe unrecoverable errors in various operating systems. The colors run the gamut, and include blue, black, green, yellow and white, plus various other screens of death that are not color themed.

In a strange way browsing through these unfortunate screenshots is like a walk down memory lane, albeit one that brings back somewhat unpleasant memories.
