My Windows laptop hangs sometimes, I think the Adobe something or other causes it (there is no log evidence in this highly advanced operating system.) And when it hangs, CtrlAltDel does not work, as it should in an operating system. That is your mistake Senor Gates. I don’t remember my Sun Solaris workstation ever hanging like that, though, truth be told, it might have done it once or twice in a dozen years.

I have always suspected that some of the errors or inconsistencies in the original DOS were carried forward because no one would dare tell Gates he did something stupid and take it on themselves to rewrite the code. Just a theory heheh.

The rare Unix system crash was usually issued as something like
PANIC! Memory fault. Core dumped.
at the system console.

Thankfully, Microsoft never gave their users error messages starting with PANIC! But my favorite Microsoft error message was
Not enough memory to

That was it. Nothing else. System froze.
