    This actually happened to me once when I was a kid playing SimCity (I don’t remember if it was 2000 or 3000); The machine, a new but possessed Windows 98 machine, blue screened and ejected the 52x drive without spinning down the CD. So when the tray came out the disc flew across the room like a Lilliputian UFO.

      Old school bugs were just objectively better. Software turning mundane everyday items to death threats is the type of action i need in my life.
