(Geeky) Note to self:

You're using a Windows editor. Ctrl-X Ctrl-S does not do what you want.

It looks like it did what you want.

In fact, it did do the thing you wanted. It just deleted an arbitrary line of text before it did it.

The net result of this can be disastrous.

Stop doing it!

Daddy, what does "formatting hard disk" mean?

Daddy, why can't this magnet pick up this floppy disk?

etc.

Yes, I discovered the meaning of the word 'format' through a process of trial-and-error on my uncle's Amstrad. Thankfully he wasn't too upset, and had copies of everything I destroyed.
