Same here. I constantly hit Ctrl+S or Esc :w and I can’t imagine why people don’t do that. The most work I can lose is few minutes. I can’t imagine working on a document for say 4 hours without ever saving it.

Too funny!

I work at a large private engineering/surveying firm, and we pretty much all use AutoCAD as well as various Office apps. We’ve had a couple of power outages here, and I always shake my head when I hear the chorus of groans. :) Or some individual’s PC will lock up and they’ll bitch for hours about all the time they lost.
I guess being a game geek has its rewards, because I naturally save whatever I’m working on about every 2 minutes, and have whatever autosave functions there are on the various apps turned on.
That’s what really surprises me: So many users don’t even have autosave turned on when it’s available!
