Well that’s a first. In the four-plus years that I’ve been running OS X, from “Tiger” to Leopard, I’ve never had the operating system bail out on me.

I wasn’t doing anything unusual. Nor was I taxing the machine to any great degree. I was running Photoshop — as can be seen from the screen capture — then I launched the “DigitalColor Meter” and OS X went off to Elysium.

Oh well, there’s a first time for everything.
