Surely. Nothing beats handwritten for LOVE.

This was the biggest problem that students had in our computer labs at college. I was forever recovering lost papers that they'd written. There'd be 8 pages of Comp Paper on there and they hadn't saved it ONCE. We made sure the auto-save was on on all our computers. We used word perfect at that time. In fact I was recovering files for reasons like this before we even had Windows. Computers have errors and always fail. It's not just windows. Just save your files regularly and make backups of ALL your files periodically - especially if you have sensitive material saved in digital format. It's normal and to be expected. I do understand your frustration. There are times I'll start writing something in my journal here and my daughter will get to the computer when I go to answer the phone. Most of the time I won't bother to re-write it cause it's just not the same anymore.
