The housemate did poor job introducing to computer work. "Thou shall save your work often" was the first rule in those glorious times.

Indeed. In high school we had a Mac (Performa?) lab running System 7 in the art department. The whole system would crash so constantly that I would manually save my work almost after every change. Really stunk when Netscape Navigator 3 crashed, because you couldn’t save your work there.
