This word "famous". I do not think it means what you think it means.

$23,500 for a white skull painted on a black flag. Guess she kept Apple's pricing model when she turned private artist.

Don't make any statues of her. The iconoclasts won't like that.

System 6 and 7 were the peak, IMO. Loved Macs back then, but haven't personally owned Apple computers since then. OSX and it's brethren just aren't for me.

Yeah, my family never owned Apple computers when I was a kid, but a lot of my early computer education was Apple based because my school district was given these huge grants from Apple, so every classroom had a Macintosh and we had computer labs full of IIe machines. At this point I'd much rather use macOS than Windows, but Linux serves my personal needs much better than either.

Sadly the bomb only happened when the system would crash but still a great symbol

Oh I remember it from a painting program

That makes more sense, wished I used it then. My first Mac was always crashing so seeing that bomb symbols as too common lol.

Palestinians don't even have food or water, let alone bombs. You're thinking of those godless and heartless fucks that call themselves Zionists. They love bombs and are happy to use them on the defenseless people of Palestine while stealing their land.

Good for her.
I just wonder if a sentence like this would be found under a mans appreciation post.

No really: I'm just wondering with no bad intention.
And for various reasons.
Is it appropriate or not?
Would it be appropriate for men or not?
Would people of unspecified gender appreciate it or be appalled?

Again: Don't want to nag. This comment just stood out to me. I don't even know why.

50/50 and because commenting on a woman’s appearance in a post about her accomplishments smacks of patriarchy bullshit is why it bothers you.

Back when the save icon was much more relatable. Do Macs still have a bomb box? Or did they change it like Windows does regularly

As far as I know, the bomb box is gone. In my experience, though, my Mac either isn’t crashing at all, or is crashing so hard it wouldn’t have even been able to put up the bomb box (only happens once, maybe twice a year).
