this application has unexpectedly quit

I got that error several times today, and no, I was not using a PC.

I was at the end of my book report for my soc. class, and I went to save it in Appleworks as a .doc file. Well, it saved, and the maclink transfer came up. Okay. Then Appleworks just quit. No big deal, I could retype the last paragraph if it didn't save. Well, the fucking icon wasn't even on my desktop for the document, period. Fortunately, I searched through finder, Mac's cooler version of windows explorer, and found it. Tried it again. Same thing. Fuck. Well, then I decided to save it in Appleworks format and deal with it later. I eventually got it to work, but now I'm worried my prof. won't be able to open it. I'll just have to install appleworks on Adam's iMac. Trust me. It's not going to kill me to do this since his iMac is super sexy and sweet. ;)
