No, I’ve not been involved in any accident, and I’ve not had a crush on any girl. But this is even more important to me: on the 21st of February 2008, at exactly 13:56GMT, I witness an application crash on my Mac for the first time. The application? Firefox 2.0.0.12.
But before you jump on Firefox, note that I really live in my browser, and that’s the application I’m working with about 80% of the time I spend behind my Mac. It’s also likely some background services may have been crashing and restarting “automagically” — who knows?
To paraphrase Victor Cajiao from the Typical Mac Users Podcast: No, it’s not perfect. It’s just way better than anything out there.

I had to laugh George that is such a classic post. If I had to write a post every time FireFox crashed on me, I’d run out of space on my server.
I can however appriciate the nostalgia in documenting this event. Wait until you get your first Kernel Panic http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106227
Thanks for the quote.
