> (A note on most of these characters is that they don't actually map to any defined Unicode code point; they are unconnected glyphs. Font Book will show them but you can't really copy them anywhere. A tool like Ultra Character Map will let you at least grab a graphical representation and paste it somewhere, as I have done here.)

I stopped using Apple Macintosh OS after Snow Leopard, aftger they started making it more difficult than necessary to access the full power of the Unix underpinnings. In some way, I miss Macintosh OS 7.5, 8, and 9 more than OS X.

To be completely honest, the joke is getting a little bit old. They could at least update the graphic. But Windows has not been that crashy since Windows ME.
Maybe they could update it with something that pokes fun at how much Windows spies on you by default.

The issue there is that Apple collects just about as much telemetry on end users. I'm unsure how much data either give or sell to third parties.

Windows was still crashy, most frequently due to poorly written drivers.
What changed was that Microsoft altered the default setting so that Windows silently rebooted the computer when it crashed instead of displaying the BSOD information on what caused the crash until the system was manually rebooted.
