Windows Error messages
I saw a site that had pictures of digital billboards with Windows Error messages on them. This is the picture I saw, although I can't remember the original site. It's not a crash but apparently, someone's missing a driver disk.

Alternative Uses
You could always do something like this: http://nerdsrus.com/projects/pipelineclock/ -- turn them into clocks.

Re:You'd be amazed where that BSOD shows up. :)

Windows Errordid any one notice the windows error was actually the windows hardware wizard? Go back and look. The windows hardware wizard is what pops up automatically when new plug & play hardware is installed.
Now I've never worked with these billboard systems before so I have to ask: Exactly how does a live billboard encounter a situation where the add hardware wizard pops up?
I can see it now. Two geeks are assigned to replace the video card for this system.
Geek #1: OK, #2, this is your first time on this job so you might be surprised. That billboard takes a video signal just like any other monitor. Its just an average PC system so this job will be cake.
Geek #2: Cool! So all we have to do is take a spare monitor and a video card up there.
Geek #1: Well yeah, but we don't need the monitor. We'll just watch the progress from the billboard.

Another PR coup for Microsoft!
> Some billboards: first from Ant we have a windows error
Now they've hired Lance Burton to pop up on a nearby billboard and prompt you whenever you need to insert a disk!
Though a more impressive feature would be to have him whisk it in magically as soon as it's needed.
