One day I had been furiously editing a long program
file for about an
hour and a half when I was called away to lunch, and, being hungry,
didn't save
my file. When I got back to the terminal an hour later, I discovered
two things -- the system had crashed, and our cat had decided that the
pile of paper
on the floor made a great litter box. After a few choice words, I
sighed and picked up my highliter...
This should be engraved on a plaque somewhere. Only because I had almost
the same thing happen to me, without the cat though. I had a printout of a
"mail" program I had written on TOPS-10 at high school. I had to retype
the entire thing after the file got corrupted.
Yay MACRO-10
