It's happened to me a few times with Win98. If Bill Gate's boys have not
totally screwed up Windows ME, then generally the worst that will happen is
you lose the latest update of the current file you have open and are working
on. (Which is why it is wise to have frequent "saves" of these files as you
go along.) Then, when the PC comes back on, you get scolded by B. Gates and
Co. for not closing Windows properly, and then the blue screen ScanDisk
maintainence routine runs as the PC boots up. Almost always there is no
serious damage. (At least this is the way it is with Win98, anyway...)
