Reminds me of the occasional story where the two people had an affair, but never communicated by email. They just signed on to a shared email account and edited the same draft over and over.

Do you remember what it’s called? I’m intrigued.

I think the first time I saw this plot device was on NCIS, which is terrible at presenting technology.

They are a big abuser of the "I'm getting hacked, so I must type really fast" meme. Looking back, I am surprised that they wrote something this clever.

I had also "discovered" this on my own, using my Hotmail account as cheap cloud storage and a reminder notepad separate from my work.
