please.

i know most of you have hobbies/jobs/passions/careers that involve software. hit save as often as possible. you won't regret it.

i didn't do it, and now i'm lost.

Fuck man, sorry to hear that.

Not to drum up false hopes, but what program was it? Sometimes there are ways to recover that stuff.

apple's logic studio. usually generates a backup, but it didn't. a big loss but not a huge issue, and now i just don't even want to go near it for a while.

Apple's Pages sucks at that too.  No autosave.  I never use it for long writing projects even though its UI is so much slicker and it performs so much better than Word 08.

I feel for you. I too have had occasions where I had to redo my work because I didn't save it before my computer decided to crash on me. Over the years though, I've developed an obsessive habit of hitting Ctrl+S/Apple+S several times a minute.

I love the delete button. I regularly delete things that took me days to do and then regret it. The save button doesn't help with this. What should I do? Jump off a bridge?

I think that's what the "undo" button is for.
