I recall OS 8 crashing often and loosing lots of work. Back then I was doing graphic design work and just getting into web programming. Photoshop, Illustrator and QuarkXpress all day with those apps crashing unexpectedly. MS Word for Mac was awful back then too. OS 9 was much better and Windows 2000 was actually really good. It's great that that sort of instability is a thing of the past!
