"Real" operating systems, like VAX VMS, have transaction systems.
If your machine crashes/runs out disk space in the middle of a save, 
you get your file in a consistant state, although it may not be the 
most recent copy.  I understand the constraints of trying to 
build a small, affordable machine, but I'll be glad when Apple 
and other micros catch up to at least the 1970's in operating system technology.
