Saving your work
Before you turn off the computer, save your work on the hard disk
drive, diskette, flash media, or CD. This is one of the most
important rules of computing.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Save your data even when you are using the
Standby command, in case the main battery discharges before you
return to work.
Saving documents is quick and easy, so it is a good idea to get in the
habit of saving frequently.
Many programs offer a feature that saves documents at regular
intervals. Check your program’s documentation to see if it has an
automatic save feature.
