How many OS's have you managed to crash?

I have crashed many windows systems but they are easy to crash.
My record with Linux was with RH and I managed to crash it w/o trying in 26 mins the first time I used them. Any other records out there?

Windows is getting much harder to crash by accident, in my opinion. It's incredibly rare that I encounter one (the worst I usually get is an occasional program that stops responding, but Windows itself is usually fine). I've never crashed a Linux machine, but I'm sure it would happen if I used it enough.

I've crashed lots of Macs.

I'm probably the only one that has managed to crash a DC bios. I have crasahed pretty much everything, from videogame consoles to classic computers with propritery OSes to next gen OS.

Well as my Grandma said when I crashed my dads old PC: "If he doesn't break it he wont learn how to use it"
Of course my dad had a different opinion
