y'know, when I was last working on a long letter or something in word, we had a power outage or something happened where the computer got shut off before I could save it. When the computer got turned back on, lo and behold, my work was all there.
Yup, that's how it's supposed to work. It's called journaling, and pretty much every modern operating system except BSD uses it (I think they have some alternate system to avoid data loss). If you're running Windows and you lose data in a crash, it's usually because of someone being dumb enough to use FAT instead of NTFS.
