Literally 50% of all 'Save As' commands end in this for me.

If I'm working on a really in depth document, I'll start cloning them to new separate versions just for safety. I usually run from v1 to v9 on a comp before I even get feedback from the client. Just been hosed too many times.

in addition to saving often, take screenshots of what you're working on (saved to your desktop). do it several times between saves. it's a quick subconscious thing that i've gotten into the habit of doing... since saving can cause the crash itself sometimes.

Bummer. At least you've done all the hard shit now - I tend to find that 2 hours of pre-crash time equates to about 15 minutes of post-crash time, given that I've done all the working out and thinking.
I say this assuming you're working on something 'designy' rather than 'arty'..
On a side note - Neither Illustrator or Photoshop have crashed on my Windows 7 box since I bought it in November-time. Just thought I'd mention that seeing as Windows users are always getting BLUESCREEN OF DEATH flak from you Macites :)
