 FAIR: The narrator does not save his work before appearing to shut  off his word processor, but thats okay, because in fact he only  switches off the monitor, leaving the machine running and his work  intact. Also, the shot of the narrator writing has him seated at his  desk; when he turns off the word processor, he is standing, studying  his work. It is reasonable to presume that a brief moment went by  between the shots, and he could easily have saved the work then.
