My Mac's drive died on me during finals crunch in school one semester. I lost a long paper I'd finished the night before - was going to proof it before running over to the lab to print it - and had almost 100 more pages to write. This was early-90s, maybe 1/4 of the folks in my dorm had personal computers. I spent 4 days using other people's machines while they weren't, because the labs was already booked solid, and still had to take an extension on one paper. In conclusion, I like preemptive multitasking.
