    It must have been back in 1992, I had a Mac that crashed with a bomb icon. No codes, no error messages, just a bomb icon. Gee, thanks, that really helps me fix it.

    Compared to Windows 3.11 where you would get a string you could search USENET for, and maybe a hint of the bad program, a bomb is just useless cutesy shit.
