Okay, I did somethign stupid. I was in an Excel spreadsheet, cut some lines of a sheet to send to someone because they didn't need all of the data, and then accidentally hit "save". Is there any way to get the original data back?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you have the undo command under edit available?

nope. says "can't undo"
should have mention taht i've been fooling with the data for a while, I just didn't mean to save it. I was hoping that there was some kind of wayback machine or something. It's not a big deal, just a pain the ass. It's not even that i can't recreate the data, it's that I don't remember what was there in the first damned place.

I think you're out of luck then.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Um... it isn't still in the clipboard, is it? (You can just paste into Excel to see if it is.)

Oh--I read delete. If you did strictly cut it, and haven't cut anything else, you should be golden.

Enraged with jealousy at all you Kindle and iKindle people I downloaded the MobiPocket reader for my Symbian OS phone. It will have to get me through the cold nights until someone not named AT&T carries the iPhone, or I get flush enough for a Kindle.

It's the only thing out there that just plugs in and works with iCal and all the other items that work with MobileMe. I'm cranky that the iPhone doesn't have copy and pasteDitto me on those. The other thing that pisses me off, is there is still no office suite type of thing. Just want a basic spreadsheet and word processor program. Numbers lite maybe? C'mon Steve!
I now have a DB meter, signal generator, FFT, and spectrum analyzer on my phone, which is pretty great.I have the spectrum analyzer. Very handy. Which db meter are you using? Um. How calibrated is it?
My iPhone makes me laugh and clap my hands. Other times it makes me go "Grrrrrr," but then I remember that it's shiny and pretty, and I forgive it.until you drop it. Again.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Google Docs? Of course, I say that with the knowledge that it's all I use on my laptops, so...

IIRC, google docs has to be connected to the net. Work on a plane? In the basement of the theater? NSM with google docs.
