I just wrote a Macdate for 45 minutes only to have another IE window open in my Add Blog window, which I accidentally closed. And no it wasn't on the Mac (I'm in class on my notebook).
I'll re-write it as soon as I recover from the loss :)

I'm writing to share a tragic little story.My IE Window ate my blog entry. And it was a good blog entry!
Then I switched, and started to use an Apple Powerbook to blog in class. It's a lot nicer to work on that my PC was, it hasn't let me down once, and my grades have all been really bad cos I'm not getting any work done in class anymore.
Thanks, Apple.

Eep! Whenever writing something longer than short do it in something else! This happens all too often no matter what browser you use... could be the fault of the browser or the server, doesn't matter. (Especially in WinIE, where if you go forward a page and then try to go back to re-edit, everything is gone.) Another perk is that if you use even a basic thing like WordPad.exe you get spell checking too :)Anonymous - Thursday, February 26, 2004 - link
Sounds like the premise for a new Apple switcher ad.MY PC ATE MY BLOG ENTRY
"I was in class writing a long, highly anticipated blog entry when all of a sudden a new link opened in my web browser window. IE doesn't support tabbed browsing, so it took over my blog entry window and before I knew it, I had accidentally closed the window resulting in my entire blog entry being lost forever. Thankfully, Safari supports tabbed browsing and is less prone to this sort of problem. I am now rewriting the blog entry in Safari on my Mac. Thanks, Apple.

I usually edit any lengthy posts in TextEdit to prevent stuff like this from happening. It's also much better for editing than a web browser (go figure!). I can also save a local copy, so nothing goes down the memory hole. It's win-win.
