I just had a minor power outage

It was only for a minute, but everything died. I run a Mac Mini, which is a desktop that has no battery, so it went too. I had just finished writing a 1000 word text file. I hadn't saved. It took me two hours. This is the nightmare.

I boot it back up, and the text file simply appears. No error message. No crash report. Nothing happened. My cursor was in the exact same place. Lion has so far been worth every penny.
