    I've closed Microsoft Word (or at least so I think) and I do something else for a while. I then press Alt+Tab only to realize Word is still hanging around, asking a stupid question like "Do you want to keep the blah-di-blah you copied in memory? It would just take a bit longer to exit if so, hehe, thx bye". It would have taken far less time for word to have kept that whatever blob in the memory than the time it sat around asking me stupid questions. This particular dialog box needs an option "Do whatever you want with that blob in memory, NEVER ask me this again, and you owe me an apology". It's like the pizza delivery guy is still hanging around your porch the next morning after you've paid for the delivery and tipped him well the PREVIOUS night because he needed to ask you if you would like him to store the pizza box you threw away last night. The answer is: Who cares?! Hey Microsoft Office, just ***** exit, and disappear away when I tell you to. :mad: OK, I'm getting my coat (oh wait, I never wear a coat).

          That is a feature introduced years ago when memory was more of an issue. Maybe it's time to remove it.

          Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.
