knashing of teeth
that sounds to me like a combination of 'kicking' and 'gnashing'. Cool!

Window will chuck a wobbly when you least expect it - so unless you're copying funny movies or somesuch on it, it's best to offer a few seconds' prayer that all the data were written.

Having said that, I don't trust the things as far as Granny can throw them. If it's important, the data should go on at least three media.

You wouldn't believe how many people go halfway across the world with buggered data, don't check their files when they arrive, and then realise that their latest revision is sitting on a nice, cold hard disk at their origin. Fifteen minutes before a presentation .
