I'm very much a compulsive saver whenever I'm writing papers or doing a report. If you try to close a program without saving whatever you were working on, it reminds you that you have unsaved changes, which has definitely saved me a few times.
Losing power and, as a result, half of my paper, is a completely different story.

ah the number of times thats happened to me,

i swear its either the laptop running out of charge before i save

or i retardly switch of the laptop using the off button thinking that ive already saved when i haven't (i can never be bothered to shut down properly coz i abuse my stuff like that then complain about it later XD)

or my friend thinks its funny just switching of my laptop while im in the middle of a paragraph

I just go with the flow of the paper, then when I'm done I automatically press Ctrl+S.

So, that has never happened to me. But it has happened to my friend who was right next to me. Provided some lulz. ;D

With enemies like that, who needs friends?

I always save my work whenever I finish writing a paragraph or two. Unfortunately, there has been occasions where I finally finish with my work and just exit out of the word document.

Whenever it does happen, I would usually just give up.

My old computer teacher's constantly reminding the kids to save every few minutes still has a place in my subconscious. It does happen on occasion when I forget to save after hours of work, but luckily, those times are usually not related to schoolwork (ex. graphics).

I am a ctrl+s freak; old habit from writing so much (especially after that summer with the computer that'd randomly shut itself off!). Assignments or stories won't get completely lost if I forget to save. I might lose chunks of it, but the only reason I'd lose all of it is if I somehow deleted it.

...besides, chances are if I try to exit out, if I haven't saved recently, it'll ask me if I want to save. D; *shot*
