[ale] X frozen does abiword do timed backups?

[Geoffrey]

I tell my wife and daughter, save early, save often.  You never know 
what's going to happen power outage, whatever.  I've finally got my wife 
convinced to save every 1/2 a page in anything she's using on a 
Microsoft OS.  Linux, she saves every page.  She's still lost a bunch 
more stuff on Windows...

She used to have a bad habit of creating a document, sending it to the 
printer then exiting the program without saving it. After a couple of 
paper jams, she's be cured of that.

Until later: Geoffrey		esoteric at 3times25.net

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
