When I was writing my thesis, I sent it by email to myself several times per day... |

Hey Paul, sounds like you had a very shitty day. The computer has crashed on me before - just as I was about to print out an essay to hand in the next day and I felt soooo sick and angry I couldn't bring myself to write it again straight away. After a couple of hours ranting/crying/kicking and punching walls I settled down to it, stayed up all night and somehow ended up with a piece of work better than the original.
Ah, it's shitty, but think of it as character forming! Good luck! |

Anyone who waits till they have typed 3000 words before attempting to save is a TIT i repeat a TIT.
Paul is not a tit! lol. He said he saved it "a hundred times whilst it was being worked on by hitting Ctrl+S." |

I remember reading the ctrl + s thing before I read your post. But I don't know when what was edited... |

It wasn't edited. That's just it!
I edited the essay post after weirdmom had the idea of putting it up on the board for safe-keeping, hence the change in the number of words. But i didn't edit the original post at all |
