Just imagine, you have be on a important Business or University assignment, you have typed in over 200 + pages and
are about to save it all your work to your hard drive, when " BINGO ", you bump the mains power board or worse,
someone blows the fuse on the circuit your computer is on any one of these scenarios would send a normally sane
person into absolute instant rage..."OH NO !"#$@*! "I have lost all my Data ", now I will have to start all
over again. Consider the sad alternatives, the lost time, lost productivity, the lost idea's, who pays ?
If the user was smart , they would have been using a Uninterruptible power supply which would have "cut in" the exact
moment in time it took to disrupt the mains supply to that computer. It happens in a milli-second - all over red-rover !
Consider an even worse case, you are saving data to your IDE drive and there is a black-out or brown-out, your hard
drive is now a useless paper weight ! If you have damaged the MBR (rigid disk block) file on your hard drive you may go
through hours of re-installing your files just to make it work, even worse if you never backed it all up prior to the crash !.
