The plug that my computer is attached to is right under my desk, just about where my feet like to be. I have, on more than several occasions, kicked it by mistake or rested my foot on it etc... When I do the screen suddenly goes off and I hear fan whurrr down, and I think - not again. I've learnt to 'save often' now, I still haven't learnt not to put my feet there.

Just last night!
Am in Ch7 in one of the toughest battles in the game and all of a sudden "Napster" decides it needs to be reset and closes me out of the game! My fault I guess, I forgot to shut it down before loading BGII. ------------------ Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig |

yeah just last night I was here on this board and I loaded up my BG@ game to refer to my character and switching back and forth between it and here froze my computer so I had to reset, just before I was able to submit my reply.

That's one of the reasons both my machines have UPS You can pick up a decent one for under a 100 usd. Consider how much your computer cost and I think you'll agree it's definetely cheap insurance..

A wise man once said....... UPS..... they may not keep ya running long... but long enough to get a save. eheheh I myself have had that happen to me but I also hate when I am just about to save and something happens and it doesnt work out like you want it to and your last save was 30 mins ago....

A while back, I was playing the poorly made RPG made by Eidos, Revenant, and I was very close to the end. I was fighting some enemy and died. Now, when you die in the game, they go through all this boring crap before you can load your game again, so I like to load the game just when I die. Big mistake. Instead of loading, I saved. I do this a lot now, it's a very bad habit.
