 		Blue Screen of Death
I'm surprised no one has said anything about the Blue Screen of Death that appeared on the secretary's computer while she was looking at the irs page/www.toyota18.com. If I read it properly, the hex codes aren't real hex codes at all, as they contain multiple G's and at least one O. Here's what I copied, and if anyone can make sense of it...

E1 F0 A0 01 EC 89 AO G1 13 66 54 01 11 01 01 00
E0 1A 05 01 00 11 04 01 11 01 01 00 55 68 AE 66
G1 13 66 54 E0 1A G5 01 00 11 04 55 68 A0 01 EC

Since they're not real hex codes, I doubt a convert to ASCII will work, plus I think most are out of the range of letters. I'm thinking it might be either a cryptogram or a crostic (where the words for the crostic are the other clues), but I can't see an obvious relation between (first) digits and clues.

Any ideas?

 		First, I had one set of different numbers than your list. On the third line, seventh set I have "05". Everything else is the same.

Second thought: notice there are 5 strings that repeat:

"A0 01 EC"
"G1 13 66 54"
"01 11 01 01 00"
"E0 1A 05 01 00 11 04"
"55 68"

This leaves the following non-repeated sets:

E1 F0 89 A0 AE 66

Wish I knew what it means. Smile

 		Shanslam, first thing I notice, without going over this with a fine-tooth comb is that nowhere in your post do I see a G5 which is clearly in the first post? Am I missing something? I believe I also have an additional 04.

The "G5' is an incorrect set on the original post. It should actually be "05", which is what I was trying to indicate (apparently poorly) at the beginning of my post.

Take a closer look at the "E0 1A 05 01 00 11 04" string. It appears at the beginning of the second line and again in the middle of the third line. That accounts for both of the "04" sets.

Last night, I discovered a screen capture for the "Blue screen of death" that was fairly high-res but, alas, I didn't bookmark it and now can't seem to locate it. I'll post the link when I find it.
