    Just like when you're about to hit SAVE on a long document you just
    typed at the computer or online, and <ZAP!> -- the power and internet
    goes out...and you don't have a UPS as a backup.

    Most word processing programs (I use Word and Word Perfect before that)
    have a save option where whatever amount of time you set it for will
    backup whatever you are doing. You might lose a few minutes (mine is set
    for 10 minutes and any problem usually happens about 9.59 minutes) but
    better than losing the whole thing.
    That save option has pulled my fat out of the fire a few times.

    Joe,

    That save option has pulled my fat out of the fire a few times.

    Reminds me of the joke where The Lord and The Devil are working on a
    word processing/programming deal. Just about the time they get done,
    power goes out. Satan is cursing a blue streak, as he lost everything.
    But, The Lord's document was in tact.

    The reason: "Jesus Saves" (pun intended). <G>
