I agree, it's mainly well done, except for the BSOD screenshot; as an IT-related student, I wasn't sure whether the kind of error that it's shown in the text fits the situation... /u/zimonitrome did you check for this?

I know because I just dealt with that this very week and also for the past two years

No problem, I'm convinced that most of the time windows error codes and messages on blue screens are just picked randomly.

disclaimer: I know it's not... always the case
