Why does it surprise you? Do people not save anymore?

  People in the 80s and 90s experienced computers crashing regularly, thus instilling the reflex of constant saving. I'm not sure young people have that reflex.

    If my memory is not totally off, I started my computer usage in the early 00s. I don't recall crashing as a ticking time-bomb so I certainly didn't have that issue. And I save manually frequently. I think it is more of a power user thing and/or a paranoia thing or similar - not the fear of crashing. For me, anyway.
