I just lost three scenes from the new ending of 'Empire of Dust' with a single careless click. All today's work, in fact. I thought I had Word set to save automatically every ten minutes... in fact I did... so WTF is it?

I hate bloody Microshaft. (Okay, it's my fault, but I still hate bloody Microshaft!)

Nuff said.

If anybody has a magic retrieval spell please let me know.

Yes, Miss. Sorry, Miss. I won't let it happen again, Miss.

it was Just One Of Those Things. In my defence I do daft stuff like that fairly rarely. The only other time I lost anything was several years ago... a complete chapter... when a hard drive on a very old laptop failed irrevocably.

Oh, God, yes! I think we've all done something stupid at one time or another. :) I lost almost a whole chapter once because I overwrote the file with a snippet of something else.
