Today's example of the breed was spotted by Register reader Josh while rolling along a highway near the Kansas city of Wichita.
Normally exciting motorists with the promise of a Wendy's at the next exit, or the latest tawdry televisual treat awaiting weary travellers that evening, the digital billboard looks a tad poorly.

If we're not mistaken, that's the Windows Boot Manager (hinting at Windows 7, 8 and above) and while many would agree that Windows frequently has difficulty communicating with a computer, the truncated error looks to us to be a problem with a storage device.
Still, it's nice to see that problem being shared with drivers.
Songster Glen Campbell crooned about a [2]Wichita Lineman some 50 years ago, although an updated "Wichita Borkman" is sadly unlikely owing to Campbell being dead and all that.
Also, we suspect having the song interrupted midway by a Windows stop sound might spoil the mood somewhat.
Seen something borking in the wire? Another overload where it doesn't belong? Take a snapshot and [3]send it in . ®

Wichita Lineman
So "end of lineman for the county" error?
(Mine's the one with rhinestones in the pocket)
Still, it's nice to see that problem being shared with drivers.
For a good five seconds, I was wondering how you were certain this was a driver issue.
Hmm
"Still, it's nice to see that problem being shared with drivers."
Aren't many Windows problems due to shared drivers?
"Seen something borking in the wire?" Surely that should be "Seen something borking in the wild?"?
No Wayward son, or Dust in the Wind bad pun?
Whud ya have to pick on Glen Campbell for? I mean, c'mon, Kansas!!
road in Kansas
Inquiring minds want to know if the road was paved with yellow bricks.
This home working thing is getting a bit much. I'll get me coat but can't go anywhere though.
Should do some Bob Dylan instead
"How many roads must a man Bork down...
... The answer my friend, is blowing in the Windows"
Hey, I know this one!
I actually do!
I live in Wichita and just so happen to have seen that sign and yes, it was broken when I saw it too.

This was taken back on April 6th 2019, they should really sort out there software on this thing.
