that story makes me thankful
that i have a mac<33
my first thought
would have been to unplug the mouse.
and if i lost three hours of work,
i would have broken the mouse. D:

stuff like that doesn't happen to me though.
it used to, on my old computer.
but my mouse and computer are both made my apple now.
so they always work. ^^

that sucks though. :[

I didn't think to unplug it until it was halfway restarted... -bashes head-

Haha. Thanks. It sucks, does it not?

For future reference, Alt+Tab switches windows.

I had something similar happen to me once...but it was a little different. You see...I am pretty OCD when it comes to saving things. I literally save something EVERY FIVE STEPS.

WELL...a few months ago, I was working on a contest prize I owe someone. I have the hair, face, and eyes colored and shaded, and I'm starting on the clothes. I hit Ctrl+S...and BOOM. Blue screen of death!

I think "Eh, no big deal," and I go to reboot the machine, keeping an eye on my processes and looking for anything suspicious.

SO...when I go and reopen the PSD file, which I KNOW for a FACT I saved just barely ten strokes before the crash...

It's a sketch with a spot of brown in the left eye. T_T

I still haven't finished that picture, by the way. That KILLED my motivation. D:

O_________O NOOO!
That's terrible. :( The Blue Screen of Death is so terribly ebil. It's gotten the best of us...

@Enniel-- Thank you. :(

I hate when things like that happen. It usually happens to me when I'm writing fanfiction or something. -_-'

As for photoshop, it hasn't really done too much to make me hate it or anything. I like photoshop, it makes my computer slow, but I've become very good at coloring pictures since I've gotten it(I've been asked by a few people to color their things since then. I don't charge them anything for it, but when it comes to my own work, my coloring skills aren't as good when as when I color other's things. Sort of weird but..I don't know XD). Photoshop is worth the money I spent on it..I think-_-... It doesn't give me too much of a hard time though.

I was taught in highschool to save your stuff every ten minutes.. Needless to say I still do that. So I don't worry about the computer crashing too much. At times I do forget though..

I don't like the beatles. They creep me out.
