Absolutely!: After all: its 2016. Not a single letter should be
lost that I'm typing. There's no excuse for it. ALL THESE
POWERFUL SUBSYSTEMS... and what the user is inputting gets lost?
There's me. The keyboard. The computer. and it can't save what
I'm doing? Backtrack a few steps? A more perfect computer would
be a state system with history. Rewind button as it were. Return
the computer to the state it was in three days ago so I can look
up what I was doing then. Of course, that takes up a lot of
room. But at least a buffer that saves-as-you-go. It's not that
hard to implement. Google Docs has it built in, although I don't
use Google Docs: It saves every keystroke and allows infinite
backtracking. That's how it should be with all of these things.
[I'm not a fan of depending on cloud - to me it's a backup
system mostly - but I like Google Doc's implementation] =
That's how I see it as well. I suppose what I'm wanting at
present is an effective browser that can transform input boxes
into effective data input/saving boxes. That alone would be a
big help. I'm sure there's add-ons for it, but it's
frustratingly not built-in to the whole PHILOSOPHY of generally
not prioritizing the user. I added a few more paragraphs to my
little rant there by the way :P I once saw a hypothetical OS
being worked on in Russian. I forget the name - I downloaded a
early model of it back in the early 2000s. Phantom was it
called? Phoenix? I don't remember. Anyway, it eliminated files
and folders altogether. Access to all spacetime within the
computer's universe so to speak. No distinction between active
memory and storage - all one. I don't think they ever finished
it, but I loved what I saw and what they were shooting for. ==
