Chizen '14: Rebooting college life

In the middle of frantically typing notes for HIST 1630: "Modern Latin America I," my computer freezes. With a final shudder, it turns black and powers down. Everything is obliterated: an eight page paper due that evening, a year's worth of schoolwork, 6,000 songs, 3,000 pictures and dozens of programs. ...
