Bruce Shankle's Favorite Bug

  • Article

During Windows 95, I was a beta tester. It was the first time I'd seen a 'Recycle' bin on a Microsoft platform. (We had some undelete functionality in DOS that required you to know the first letter of the file you wanted to undelete on the FAT file system. Sometimes it worked pretty well, but I digress...) Anyway, just for fun, I drug the recycle bin icon on the desktop and then dropped it into itself. This immediately crashed the machine.
