Ooh, the 'bomb' message? I had that once or twice under OS 9 in the two years or so I ran it. Since moving to OSX I've never seen the 'kernel panic' screen (didn't even know it existed until someone posted a picture of it on here once). About the only thing liable to upset my Mac nowadays is iPhoto, which is notoriously clunky under OSX 10.2.8 .... this useful but badly-optimised app caused the machine to sort-of reset itself on me last week, insofar as it shut down all running apps, logged me out and took me back to the user login screen. It was quite happy after that. This is a known software issue though, not a problem with the OS, and in any case it's fixed in the latest version of iPhoto (which I can't have, 'cos I need OSX 10.3
)
