Bomb as a term for a computer crash is an accepted use of the word. It's one of the verb definitions of the word: to fail suddenly. And ESPECIALLY considering the history of the bomb icon in the Mac OS, it's totally appropriate. In this case, the Homeland security people (Did you know that KGB is the acronym for what is not too loosely translated from Russian as "The Department Of Homeland Security"?) can bite me. john -- "Where there's a Will, there's usually a large, barrel-chested robot waving arms hither and thither, screaming pronouncements of doom.
