Kids these days! Back in '95, we got a Windows Blue Screen of Death 5-10 times a day, and that was on a *good* day.

You all think I'm exaggerating, but I distinctly recall ending all sentences with ".<Ctrl-S>" when typing assignments because there was always a high chance of Windows crashing mid-paragraph.

@monsieuricon I don't remember Windows crashing for me all that often, but my father's advice "to Ctrl-S all the time" got so deep that even today I type :w after each flurry of keystrokes. Even in freaking Google Docs, I still try to save after each sentence. It's a sort of second-hand PTSD I guess.
