Whatever happened to the “cute” little bomb?

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".

A buddy of mine put together a replacement "Fatal Error" dialog for Windows 95 one time, with a picture of a steaming pile of poo, a message "You really don't want to know", and two buttons:

You're Right
     
Trash My FAT
The first time I saw it I fell out of my chair.
