NOTE: at 0:59 where I mention the “MacsBug” console, I misspoke. I was actually showing the built-in ROM debugger.

  1. We just had to do a follow-up to the original Mac Screens of Death video! Because of you awesome people watching it over 450,000 times . . . we knew what we had to do! For more tech, feel free to subscribe and click that Bell button beneath the video to get new upload notifications sent right to your device.

  2. 9:03 And you will get the prohibitory symbol on the icon of a program if it is not compatible with your mac. You can also encounter this symbol if you have a Droplet with no properties. Two little fun facts for you viewers.

  3. I was traumatized by a Sad Mac on my parents' Macintosh Performa when I was 4 years old. 🙂

    The OS X kernel panics also tended to spook me when they showed up on our aluminum Intel iMac; I was around 9-10 by then.

    I recently got a new MacBook Pro and it did happen to KP yesterday – I don't even think I saw the message that it had restarted; all I saw was the dialog after logging back in. Is it weird that I miss little kid me getting scared to hell and back by Mac crash screens?
