Ooo. Could this be a Friday game? I'll play.
Some of us are so stressed that we long for the old days when the
biggest issue was merely a "Fatal Exception Error" that wiped out a
day's work. Which reminds me of a time when I was doing graphics work
with a non-profit client's aging system that required about five minutes
to complete each save. I avoided saving often and a janitor came by and
unplugged my computer so that he could use his vacuum. I told him to
not do that and he, "It's OK." It wasn't OK. The last save was not
exactly usable and it took awhile for me to recreate my creative work.
