I was logged into machine w20-575-46, when it crashed.
I don't think it was anything I did, since I had walked away
to check the printer when it happened.
Anyway, now the screen has turned black and white and all
you can see is the outline of the windows, except for the console,
which is readable.
The console says scsi0: device error.
Actually, I'm not sure what the last two words are, since
they are now covered up by a zephyr.
Also, another window has appeared, which reads:
   Memory Parity Error:
        SIMM (module number) = BANK 2, D0-15
        Soft error
        Byte in error (0-3) = 1

Oh well.  Now I can't see it since the screen saver came on.
I hope this has helped.
I will reboot the machine unless someone tells me something better
to do.
