You might see this if, say, you got your new Powerbook and within a day tried to move/rename your home-folder. Support says, “You may never see this.” Not if you’re clever enough!
It’s almost a fond memory now. I think I created a new account and moved stuff over, or archived and installed, or something… There’s detailed help out there, and haven’t seen it since. Newbie curiosity….

Sorry to say, but the movie does not show a “BSOD” it shows a Mac that can’t find an operating system on disk which is a different story.
