Yeah, I thought Cogent and L3 came to an agreement recently?

fireworks mode n.

 1. The mode a machine is sometimes
   said to be in when it is performing a crash and burn
   operation. 2.  There is (or was) a more specific meaning of this
   term in the Amiga community. The word fireworks described the
   effects of a particularly serious crash which prevented the
   video pointer(s) from getting reset at the start of the vertical
   blank. This caused the DAC to scroll through the entire contents of
   CHIP (video or video+CPU) memory. Since each bit plane would scroll
   separately this was quite a spectacular effect.
