Ya know, it was under similar circumstances that I encountered the most ridiculous, and most hilarious error message I've ever gotten from a MacOS.
I remember I had at least 6 applications open in OS 9.2, and I went to open a few more, while simultaneously I was doing crap in all these apps. So the computer( 500 mhz iMac g3) suddenly crapped out, it panicked, A singular error messaged appeared above all the windows that spoke one word.
Can't.
