I kinda miss it, too.

But what got me was on the earlier versions, instead of "RESTART" the button on the bomb windows merely said "OK." I don't know how many times I sat there staring at a dialogue box that said "Sorry, a System Error has occurred..." followed by a simple "OK" to click.

I can assure you it was NEVER "OK"... I thought it should say "Oh, Sh!t".

The MacOS 'Bomb Box', predates OS X. It went away when OS X was rolled out, around 2001.
