In college I came so very close to having a..incident..involving a networked computer running Word Perfect 2.11’s “justify” feature...no jury in the land would have convicted me!!!!

The original version of Word Perfect for Windows had an auto-save feature that was enabled by default. One day I was working on a project that I'd spent nearly 2 hours on, saving it on a regular basis. Then something happened, and WPfW managed to corrupt my document. Before I could stop it, the damn program managed to overwrite the last good save I had!

So I know what you mean.
