Thank you for your lovely reviews everyone! You guys are truly awesome. And welcome again to you newcomers!

A few words of advice: Always save your documents, make sure your auto-recovery feature is on and specified to save very frequently and to a place where you will be able to find your documents again easily, and never ever trust someone who you've told time and again not to close windows but who constantly does without even knowing what they're closing. To simplify it: save your work and don't lend your computer to other people.

Thank you all, and g'night!
