Hmm.  At the risk of being slightly offensive... duh!  My filename is:

open systems alternatives.doc
open systems alternatives.xls

I'm updating these files about seven times each week, requiring me to save
them about ten times per session.  That's seventy different file names per
document - 140 separate files for a single assignment.

This wuold get slightly confusing, as well as taking up a lot of pointless
space with early versions of my assignment...
