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!

I was a kid in the '90s.

The longer I go without mashing Ctrl+S, the more anxious I get.

Mostly because of BSODs and power failures, though, not cat butts. Computers in my day had the power button on the side, where it was safe from cats.

@argv_minus_one My previous desktop PC case had a big red button on the front, making it cat proof. Alas, this seemingly wasn't considered with this one!

A computer case with a big red button of doom to turn it on/off? Where do I sign?!?
