The Blue Screen of Death. I run from the room, screaming. "I can't do that, Dave."

Smacks of Tron to me. 4. Still, there's something there...

What do you mean, "smacks of Tron?" It's practically an explicit reference to 2001. Isn't it?

COMPUTER MALFUNCTION, LIFE FUNCTIONS CRITICAL, LIFE FUNCTIONS TERMINATED. The blue screen is threatening the evolution of humanity! "Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it." Goodbye, HAL.
