Dear Apple,

Your word-processing and page layout program, Pages, is a fine example of software that is powerful, yet easy to use. You market it to people that need to get things done–home users, semi-professionals, and professionals alike. However, there is one small flaw in your program that will continue to affect its adoption in the marketplace until it is rectified.

Namely, as long as the risk still remains of losing more than 5-10 minutes of work at a time in the event of a crash, it is essentially useless to anybody who actually needs to get things done. Until an autosave feature is implemented, I can no longer feel comfortable using your program to do anything of any importance.

Sincerely,
Nick Meyer.
