      Going to an engineering school does strange things to people.
   A few years back they showed the movie "Stand by Me" on campus.
   As you may recall, at the very end of the movie, the narrator
   gets up from his computer and turns it off without saving his
   file. Just about every person in the theater said, "He didn't
   save it!" The most confused person was a friends girlfriend who
   didn't go here and never used a computer!
 
      (The strange thing is that upon rewatching the movie, I think
   it turns out he did save it, but I am not sure... )

The way I remember it, he was using an IBM PC, and when he finished he turned
off the *monitor*, not the main unit. Humorous in any case.
