Pretty much the issue. Besides, I should be getting my own computer once more by the end of 2010, mid 2011 at the latest.

At least in campaign, I save into temporary "checkpoint" saves every couple of minutes on the off-chance the game crashes or my units do something phenomenally stupid while I'm not looking. I reuse the checkpoint saves for each mission, so I'm regularly, purposefully overwriting savegames. An additional step in that process would be rather annoying. So I, for one, would prefer it stays the way it is or that there be a "confirm save overwrites?" option in the options menu.

You know how I save? I usually click and press enter fastly, so I could commit the same mistake. (But well, as I make backups of important saves, I don't have that problem. :P)
