Overooped

“This past November my wife and I had our first kid. She was on a special monitor because she had hypertension throughout the pregnancy. This monitor kept track of a number of vitals including some of the unborn baby’s as well. Sure enough it was Windows 2000 and sure enough mid-way through the delivery it crashed! The nurses had to frantically pull all the sensors off, hook up some secondary equipment, one that required a nurse to reach in to my wife to clip a sensor to my son’s head that required piercing his skin and hope for the best. Luckily, everything went fantastic and all was okay. Windows 2000 finished booting a few minutes after my son was born.”
