Where Do You Want To Not Be Able To Get To Today?
I came across this just now while looking for some photo material for the site. I took this last December at the 32nd Street NRQW subway station in Manhattan. This is a MetroCard terminal - the device that takes your money and spits out a magnetic-stripped card that you swipe through the turnstyle in order to get to the train. No MetroCard no subway - no viable operating system, no MetroCard.
Transit grinds to a halt, the city is paralyzed, millions stranded, the population in chaos...domestic terrorism? Natural disaster? Osama Bin Laden? King Kong?
Nope, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. Workstation.
Next stop, Blue Screen of Death, staaaaancleardaclosindoors.
