I remember the double-click (which is time-dependent) still working on my Mac Plus when the clock was stuck at midnight. It also didn't crash the OS and make the computer turn off.

Are you joking?

This is a completely different thing than the UI widget that tells you the time and may freeze for any reason UI can freeze.

  • I was never criticizing the fact that time-reporting apps would fail at reporting the time if the hardware clock broke; I was criticizing the fact that the whole OS goes down, while the Mac Plus's didn't in the same circumstance.
