Apple has a great sense of humor

September 9, 2009

Due to a power failure, my NAS device was powered down. When the connection failed, the icon used to represent the NAS changed.

Normally it looks like a rack-mounted XServe, but when the connection was lost it showed up as an old-school CRT monitor with a Windows blue screen of death (BSOD).

Here’s a screenshot:

This is how the NAS normally appears:
