      A company I used to work at, did that all the time. The "we'll get some pizza tonight" didn't fly for long.

        I hate it when I'm hot-in-the-middle developing something, I haven't saved a line of code, and my cutest-little-girl-in-the-world granddaughter hits the reset button on the front of my dev box.

                    ...an app that was built using standard mechanisms like ctrl-z to mean something different.... Typing a note in our change control system... unlock the record, start typing the note... "oh, that's not what I wanted, better undo" Nope. It undid the record change. Start over.

                    This statement is false.

                      LOL! Another reason I like laptops. There's been a few cases where I've been coding away for a couple hours, only to discover the "you're battery is getting low" message popping up. Whoops! It's particularly amusing when that happens during a power outage, and that's the only way I realize the power went out. Marc

                        Better yet (better than my last post, not yers) When your learning for the first time that VisualStudio doesn't use Alt-F2 to bring up the bookmarks dialog, but your laptop does to short-circuit reboot.

                        This statement is false.

                            That's why i use a UPS. And keep it at eye-level. And zip-tie the cords to solid supports, just in case. But i do hate it when, at 3:30 on a Friday, i find a huge show-stopper bug that really needs to be fixed 'fore Monday. Like just now...

                              Last year, I dropped my TV remote onto one of my computer power strips...about 30 minutes later, I heard a beeping...which turned out to be the UPS feeding my computer and monitor...only then did I realize that the remote had hit the power switch and turned off the main power strip... :doh: Steve
