Well, er, back when everyone in my office had both a Alpha PWS and a PC 
on their desk, we also suffered a lot of network problems.  All those 
Alphas were booted as cluster satellites, network problems would bring 
them back to the boot screen, and that screen colour was blue.

Our solitary Unix expert used to goad us with cries of "Blue Screen of 
Death" when that happened.
