If you're going to die with a fatal error, at least print out the damn error message!!
Nearly six hours of downtime over a problem I could have fixed in thirty seconds if it had just told me what was wrong.

One of the questions I used to ask when interviewing potential hires was "What is the most useless error message you've ever seen?"
My own answer was "Syntax Error". But someone pointed out one that was part of the original PC BIOS. It went something like "Keyboard not found. Press F1 to continue."

Or one I'm familiar with that states "General Error" on transfer if and only if the selected COM port is already allocated by another process. Surely that one could be made a BIT more clear to the end user so he or she doesn't call me up 4 times a week? Hmm?
:-D

Granted they only had 4K of ROM.
