This version of the Blue Screen of Death (1995) is closer to 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968 - 27 years) than it is to the present day (2025 - 30 years).
Funfact: HAL9000 singing "Daisy" when pulling circuit boards is a reference to the IBM 7094 using the first speech synth in 1961, which was just 7 years before the movie.
How is that possible when the 90s were just 10 years ago.
No, you're thinking about the zeroes. Those were 10 years ago.
Telling truths and such. How dare you.
And much closer to 2001 as well!
HAL did nothing wrong.
Is that from the actual movie?
Thanks.
The dialog is, the graphic is from Windows 95.
Thanks again.
From the documentary that will be made in 30 years about events that will happen in two years.
