To Save or Not To Save?
Posted by Jess in Geek Humor

That is the question. And when it pops up when you go to close a document that you've had open for about FOUR HOURS, don't you hate it when you can't remember if you intended to save it or not?

Case 1:
You save it, and you weren't supposed to. So you reopen the document, and discover that you're Pulitzer Prize-winning sentence was wiped out while you were on a conference call and needed a document open to type "capitalize" because someone asked you how to spell it and it's easier just to type it and see if it comes up red.

Case 2:
You cautiously said no to the save, not remembering what you did, only to discover that you just wiped out the one line of code that you've been beating yourself against the wall with all day.

The annoying thing is, at that point, usually it's too late to do a Save As. No, I've gone too far and must now commit to "Yes" or "No".

I just hope my brain works faster than my mouse finger.

Um, we'd have to make good and sure that that function isn't available for scheduled/web agents (where the "user" is us).
