theres a gadget, im not sure what its called, but you plug it into your usb port and it remembers everything that is typed into the computer, and you can check it out. parents secretly plug it into there kids computers to check if they look at porn, go into chat rooms etc. sneaky sh1t.

[SVTMuscle*]

man thats a horror story, thats why i have auto save to save Word documents to my hard drive, USB Flash Drive, and my external harddrive haha. just to be safe!

dude... go to windows explorer and go to options and enable showing hidden files.

then do a search for a word in the first sentence of the paper (microsoft usually saves the tmp file under that). Chances are... it's still there.

it's called a keystroke recorder. can get em on thinkgeek.com but it probably woudln't help so much in this case.

[AnabolicAndre]

Holy shit ZIMMMMY I love you.


I found most of it. I owe you one bud.


I turned the autosave of because at the time i had a virus and it took forever to save the file and it was doing it every other paragraph.

Werd!! Zimmy, you da man!!!!!

Andre, I feel your pain bro! SVT has got the right idea, though. Save, save, save, save, and then save again, 'cause Mr. Murphy will sneak up and fvck with you at every opportunity. Good luck with the paper!!
