Comment Amiga Jazzbench (Score 2, Funny) 623

The summary reminded me that back in 1991, I got from mail-order a piece of shareware called Jazzbench that was designed to be a cooler alternative to the official Amiga Workbench. The first time I ran the software was at night, in my basement, and my speakers were turned up loud. When I attempted to do something stupid (probably about 10 seconds in), the software blared out its standard error message: a sample of "I'm sorry, Dave - I'm afraid I can't do that" from Kubrick's 2001. My name is Dave, and as this was before I had even heard about the film, let alone seen it, it scared the **** out of me. So it gets my vote for the greatest error message of all time...
