    Ahahaha!!!
    Will Mox meet his deadline? Are there computers in prison? Will the cop call an ambulance and try to resurrect the guy called Crados?

      Agree. This morning I found myself thinking: "It's Friday. So what? I'll be working tomorrow. On the other hand, at least we'll have a new Mox's cartoon". That thought cheered me up a little.

      PS. I work too much. The money is good (almost 5k net per month), but I don't even have a girlfriend who can spend it :)

    My Crados just trashed today (sigh), but this made me laugh nonetheless. Thanks!

    "Monday 3am"; "the deadline is tomorrow"...

    Mox, are you sure the deadline isn't in about six hours' time?

    (And this is why I use Déjà Vu).

    This hit home, because yesterday I finally completed a fairly large project in which Crados did create the 26 bilingual files but refused to clean up any of them. I finally had to resort to using my older CAT tool that is supposedly much more primitive than Crados but often seems to work much better.

    I think my neighbour have been tempted several times to do the same, with the many curses and murder threats I have been hurling while using "GetCross".

    I am happy to see that I am not the only one to give way to my "Mediterranean" temperament, BTW.

    :-) Think I've just chasen away a major client by telling him I don't want to work with his Trashos eum Crados anymore. Too bad but at least I'll be living a year longer now.

    Ah, I did this once, but not with Crados (which I always had astonishingly good luck with). It was a subtitling program that had a ridiculous bug where, when you create a new file and save it for the first time, it proposes the exact same file name as the previous file you used. And I saved a new, blank file over a completed file representing about ten hours of work. Completely irretrievable; I had to do it all again. I had never actually screamed at the top of my lungs before. I did it several times that day when I realized what I'd done.

    BTW, I switched from Crados to memoQ almost a year ago. Best decision I ever made. I was going to try to make up a funny sound-alike name for it like Crados, but I didn't know how many people would recognize it. Look it up -- it's good!

    It cheered me up too! Thanks Mox!
