Back in the 1990s, on old Macs, when Netscape crashed, it crashed with a "type 11" error which brought down the whole system. (I remember Word had autosave... I don't know when it first appeared, though.)

Worse, a single mac could take down all the Macs on the network. At one point I reproducibly traced it to a font.

People nostalge over the the breath of fresh air that was Windows XP, but OS X was an equally incredible improvement.

Indeed, I missed out on osx, but it was a much needed shot in the arm for Apple. System 7 was at the end of the road
