Even my wife tells me too. Laziness is BAD! And it will come around to bite you!If you back up all the time and you've got nothing to lose, the keyboard or computer program will *never* crash. If you've got something extensive you've worked on that hasn't been saved in awhile, you're "asking for it."
I've gotten in the habit (with various programs) of saving every few minutes. Nothing ever happens. Then, one day, for whatever reason, I'm concentrating so deeply on what I'm doing that I forget to save for a half-hour or something - and of course, that is when the program will crash. It's like the program is consciously thinking "Aha, he hasn't saved this for at least a half-hour, I think I'll crash."
