Yes, but did you have an AppleShare volume mounted?

No, you should still be able to save your current work to a local
volume, be it floppy or hard disk. All that's happened is the
disappearance of the volume that you were saving to previously. MacDTS
tells everyone to put all their temp and prefs files on a local volume
for precisely this reason.
