    I'm failry adept at deciphering acronyms. In the RV world, I'm familiar with DW, DH and even SWMBO, but BSOD has me baffled.

    BS is a well known abbreviation for male bovine exhaust emissions, and OD is shorthand for "overdrive ". If you shift BS into OD, do you get "MS" (more of same) and eventually "PHD" (piled higher and deeper)?

    I'd appreciate a translation.

    Bsod

    Hi Frank,

    BSOD = Blue Screen Of Death

    It's the blue screen you get when your Windows operating system crashes and gives you a dire warning that you have really messed up your computer:eek:

    Often accompanied with error codes, etc. that are usually not easily understood by the average computer user!!;)
