Lol. Microsoft came up with the silliest error messages. Seeing an interruption box "illegal operation detected" after running traceroute as a kid... was a jarring experience.
I think I "yahoo'd" something about how much trouble I was in.

Made me remember when my friend’s father got this spanking new PC XT and I was super excited to play with it, since I only had an MSX computer back home.
I started playing with all sorts of different commands and I remember I found this one called TREE.COM. I ran it and minutes after the computer took a crap.
I was desperate with his father confronting me asking if I had done something bad and after a lot of pressure I confessed I ran TREE.COM and he thought that is what killed the computer.
It was eventually reformatted and got back to operating fine but it took me YEARS to figure out the dreaded TREE.COM command had nothing to do with it :-)
Anyways thanks for sharing!
