Can we talk about autocad crashing in the middle of a deadline?

Had a set of drawings due at 5 PM last Friday and AutoCAD locked up at 3:45. Lost the last 20 minutes of work because I forgot to save. Ended up redoing a whole wall section for a commercial building in Springfield before the printer closed. Does anyone else still swear by manual saves every 5 minutes or do you trust autosave now?

And you lost 20 minutes? I'd be throwing my keyboard across the room if I lost that much work right before a deadline. Five minute autosave never saved me from the big crash when it really mattered.

Set autosave to 5 minutes and never trust it fully anyway.
