Dear Suzanne
That is an unreal comparison.
When I BUY something, I expect it to work as well as possible and, if there
is a known problem, for the manufacturer to fix it. if not, I simply buy
another product!
Why do you avoid the realissue - it is a problem for loads of people, has
been for ages, and should be fixed.
Why not?!!!

Dear Suzanne
I think your comment "none of the options will protect you from your own
imprudence, laziness, or folly!" is both unhelpful and misses the main
point.
This software is used so often by so many and it seems most of us have
been
caught by this happening at one time or another.
Why on earth not fix it?! Isn't "user-friendly" part of the plan?
Wouldn't that be a wINwIN SOLUTION?!
Thanks

I have recently lost some Word docs, despite having autosave set to 1
minute.
Journal was switched off, so no joy there.
Any ideas?!
Thanks a million.
