Yepp, i thought that'd happened to me the other day when the computer spontaneously just rebooted itself,
But then Window's recovery very politely asked me if i wanted to keep the documents that got closed without being saved when the computer was turned off
I was VERY relieved.
Even though i hadn't written more than a couple of sentences x]

Sod's law..thats enough to make me laugh for a while...i mean..SOD?? LOL
unfortunatly is has never happened that i did a work thinking its for tomorrow and it was for next week..for me..its usually due in tomorrow =/
what happens to me most often is i start off REALLY early and do so much, ahead of everyone, and end up finishing after everyone, i wonder if there is a name for it, Argh's law?
