> And here's a gem I recently discovered in Microsoft Word: My editing session got interrupted. When I restarted, Word said to me, "I automatically saved some of your work since you last saved. Would you like to keep that?" I said Hell no because I didn't know what half-baked change of mine it might have saved, but on other occasions I surely would have said yes.

That's been there a while.

The *problem* with auto-save is that I can no longer "quit without saving"! That is functionality I sometimes *desire*, even before I start my edit. Sometimes I want to play before starting work in earnest. I can no longer do that ...

Cheers,
Wol
