At 15.02, just after Alan says:

"Just one final word about computer crashes: if youre working on something...",

...the audio and video abruptly cuts out and the screen changes to a blue background with the message:

"a fatal exception OE has occured at F0AD:42494C4C...the current application will be terminated..." etc.

Is this intentional or an error? Given the subject matter I'm not entirely sure, although this may just be a bizarre coincidence. Either way I don't think its clear. Can ASSR or anyone please clarify?

Thanks.

I thought it was hallarious that Mr. Parson ended it like he did;
"a fatal exception OE has occured at F0AD:42494C4C...the current application will be terminated..." etc.
It drives the point home :-)
