    Unfortunately, I have no mod points for you. Why would a developer be quoting prices in the first place? I'd defer that question to the sales guy, pleading ignorance.

    You should keep a temporary copy of whatever is unsaved. Then the unsaved work magically appears when they re-open the app. This would avoid that modal popup.

    I think you're talking about the 1965 crash of United Flight 266 in Salt Lake City:

    http://lessons.air.mmac.faa.gov/l2/UAL266/sum/

    "The captain failed to take timely action to arrest an excessive descent rate during final approach. After touching down 335 feet short of the runway, the main landing gear sheared off and the airplane caught fire. The airplane then slid 2,800 feet on the nose gear and the bottom of the fuselage, stopping 150 feet off the right side of the runway."
