Excel.. I just want to scream!

Ok, I've been working on an Excel sheet for over 2 hours and poof! Everything I did is gone! Everything! And I promised it would be finished by noon. I just want to scream.

Here is what I did. I got the file from an e-mail and I saved it on my desktop. Then I opened it and made some changes. My pc was... well, it was being a pc so I rebooted it. I must have opened the file and minimized it because I thought it was still closed. When I saved the file on my desktop, it appended, "copy of". So I renamed it to omit the "Copy of". Proceeded to open it make over 2 hours of changes and additions and yes, I clicked save after every addition.

I did my final save and wen to close the file so I could upload it to a site and I was prompted with something I'd never saw before. It said somthing like, "do you want to save this to "Copy of" .... Press No. So I pressed no and now it's all gone.. Everything. I just want to scream!
 
Sorry to read this...

You know the saying:

"To err is human. To foul things up takes a computer."
 
I thought you used Linux like I do? Sometimes a power flicker or failure occurs and my Linux shuts down. When I reboot, it goes to a document recovery box. In addition, if I was on the Internet, it comes right back up in a matter of seconds where I left off.

Never had this problem on this OS, so I can't really help you with the Microsoft. Hopefully you don't have a virus. That's nothing I have to worry about with Linux.

Did you hear of the story of a centipede with a wooden leg? It went: ...98, 99, CLUMP! A computer, on the other hand, has millions of potentially wooden legs...

Well, maybe Bill Gates can figure an ingenious computer-assisted way for a centipede to clump its wooden leg quietly...
 
I still believe that centipede is the best. Everyone is trying to steal from the mother of the centipede. What did the mother do wrong??? Nothing!!! That centipede once was a flying rocket until some people came and injected bacteria into it.
