I hate your face.
Quite plainly to your personal detriment you have let your frustration boil over into anger in this email. As Sean has pointed out OpenOffice.org has an autosave feature which is automatically turned on when you install it IIUC, it also has an autorecovery feature which works to recover from the most recent autosave. Good quality college grade work will not be completed in one sitting so obviously you have previously saved this work. You should therefore be able to recover an earlier version from your daily backups. Daily backups are recommended by all OS and disk manufacturers. Important work like this should at least be backed up to a flash stick. What is most worrying at this juncture for you is that you have emailed a mailing list of several hundred people ranting about OPenOffice.org. Most of the list members are very happy with OpenOffice.org and support it in their own time by helping people with problems. I am one of those people and as i read your email it comes across as a personal attack on me. Many others with a temperament less reasonable than my own may well be considering flaming you in reply. Good luck. -- Michael --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
