Wait; you can copyright the “Blue Screen of Death” or having your financial information stolen?

At least that Blue Screen of Death will let you recover your data that you were working on before it crashed.

I work on Macs and when they crash you lose everything. The MAC crash is cute though. Instead of a blue screen it is a gray window shade type thing. Appropriate: the curtain going down on any work you did not save on your crashed Mac.

Windows and Microsoft are not perfect. Just glad it was nto MAC that dominated the industry.

It's called a "kernel panic". On the Mac, it's usually a sign of defective RAM, probably an aftermarket third-party installation. Linux can also experience kernel panics. For Microsoft, the situation is called the Blue Screen of Death.

In general, Linux is least likely to experience these problems. It's slightly more common on Macs. Windows is most likely to have the problem occur.

In your case, the problem is probably due to old defective font files that were installed improperly.

Huh?

For reference, you're still using OS 9 with gobs of cheap user-submitted fonts, right?
