Well, My iMac just crashed before I saved my essay (toke me a hour to write it, due tom. and I don't have time to restart the paper.) but it recovered it!!!!! My P.C. would just dump that.

Jesus is mac, macs do the impossible.

I'd bet you a cookie no PCs do that!


If your PC recovers yours, I'll post you a chocalte chip cookie :D.

I'm assuming it works similarly to Mozilla Firefox when it unexpectedly crashes.

You start the program up again, and it asks you if you would like to recover the previous session that crashed...

I love mac too, although I totally didn't know they do that. That's awesome. Like 4-5 other people said, how did you recover it?

So wait, let me get this straight..

Your Mac.. CRASHED. And this pleases you? Conjures up visions of Jesus?

I'd take you up on your cookie challenge, but my PCs have this horrible habit of 'not crashing'. So I guess I lose ; ;

Honestly, there's reasons to love Macs, but I think that the fact that they crash is not one of them.

(PS- Windows and Office both have mechanisms for recovering documents in the event of a crash)

What software were you using to write your essay with? Pages? Word 2008? Text Editor? Word (both Windows & Mac versions) can be configured to 'autosave' at a set interval. Can't see an option to do autosaves in Pages so I'm guessing if it's a feature, it's not a configurable one.

That doesn't have much to do with your mac, it's just software.. MS Office often recovered my files on my pc...

So do I get a cookie now O:)?

MS Office, OpenOffice, and Pages will all recover your files... on Windows, Mac, and Linux (except for Pages, of course).

You could atleast respond to other peoples questions by saying which software you were using to write your paper.

There are some things which makes me believe that you are PC Basher!!!

However I am glad you got the paper back.

Making up reasons to like Macs (by saying they crash?) doesn't really promote your position. Even the Mac fans here are scratching their heads trying to figure out what you're on about.

Let's stop with the unnecessary FUD please.
