I have only had a few encounters with lost data. After my first accident with losing information I became an "obsessive saver." Every few minutes I have to hit the save button just incase. My first experience with lost data happened my senior year of college. I was working on a 10 pager paper that was due the following evening. I had only finished about half of it when I sat down at home to do the rest. I lived in an extremely old house and our power would often trip which would send all of our electronics into a frenzy. My roommate had actually been working on the same assignment with me when all of a sudden..someone in the house turned on a blow dryer and boom. Power tripped. At the time I was in the last few stages of life with my Dell computer, it couldn't keep charge unless the computer was connected to the wall. So, unfortunately I had lost about 3 pages of information. Soon after I got a MAC and haven't had any trouble since!

Wow. That actually reminds me of a friend of mine. I don't think he has ever had a real laptop. They all end up being small desktops because the battery can't hold charge. Even on a desktop though, I always have a battery backup going in case of a power surge. They are very useful. It gives you time to save and shut down so you don't lose anything.
