Man page for Christmas

Is Santa a sysadmin? You be the judge...

Blue Screen
Tune: We Three Kings

Darn it all…another blue screen
How it makes me want to scream
System frozen
Wish I'd chosen
Linux as my OS

-- OH --

How they taunt me when I crash
Same old message they rehash
Windows was not shut down properly
Would you like to run checkdisk?

Windows rot's begun to set in
Nothing works, my patience wears thin
Multiple versions of DLLs, who can tell
Which one is gonna win

-- OH --

Programs fail to execute
Cause spontaneous reboot
Blue screen taunts me, how it haunts me
Once again, a three-finger salute
