Some guy has written an ActiveX control which crashes windoze95... I don't
use windoze so can't try it, but if someone else is brave, I'd love to know
if it works...
Information page with a link to a page which loads the control:
http://www.halcyon.com/mclain/ActiveX/
Quote from the page:
Exploder is an Active X control which demonstrates security problems with
Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Exploder performs a clean shutdown of
Win95 and will turn off the power on machines that have a power
conservation BIOS (green machines).

Ken Thompson has an automobile which he helped design. Unlike most
automobiles, it has neither speedometer, nor gas gage, nor any of the
numerous idiot lights which plague the modern driver. Rather, if the
driver makes any mistake, a giant "?" lights up in the center of the
dashboard. "The experienced driver", he says, "will usually know
what's wrong."
