This cat just stood on what turns out to be a poorly placed power button on top of my PC, turning the machine off... and deleting a whole bunch of interview quotes I'd spent the last two hours transcribing in the process.

No, I don't know why I hadn't clicked save in that time either.

Regularly backup your data, kids!

Whoever thought putting unshielded power/reset buttons and usb ports atop cases clearly never had cats in their lives. I've had to fashion a molly guard from a bit of leftover packaging plastic from an sd card over my case's buttons to stop my cats doing just this.
