Well, the mac doesn’t get BSODs it gets a slightly differently colored grey screen of death. Thankfully I had saved before yanking out the plug for the external monitor. It greyscreened on me with the multi-lingual press the power button for a few seconds message on-screen.
I mean really guys, this is grade-A simple stuff, people should be expected to plug these things in and out on a regular basis so it shouldn’t be a kernel panic level issue when something goes wrong in that case.
At least you get a ‘graceful’ video driver restart when things go horribly messy on that platform (unlike XP where you just have a brick).
If it wasn't for carbon-14, I wouldn't date at all
