    But ultimately, the technology was fallible, and it, too, is something cable fans remember the Prevue Guide for. The Amiga was known for its unusual error messages, particularly "Guru Meditation," which was its equivalent of the Blue Screen of Death.

I beta-test Pro Tools, the preeminent audio editor/mixing application. When you break it in a truly deep way, it throws up an error that says "MagicID Does Not Match" followed by a 5-digit string.

You know you're breakin' shit when it tells you you didn't say the magic word.
