[AccessD] OMG!!!!!!

Hi Arthur:

Subversion has versioning, even automatic backup cycles, it has allowed me
to co-author projects over the internet and it has a great list of other
features. I tend to just force a backup of coding or letter writing when the
mood hits.... once an hour or less. It has saved my bacon (getting good
instincts) a number of times and works on both main OS environments. I had
some problems running and using VSS and found this package so much
friendlier. Check it out at: http://subversion.tigris.org/ Use it with all
my MS Access, web site and Word work. 

You can now buy a TeraByte worth of hard drive space for about $375.00...
less than paid for the 8GB drive.
 
Jim

What an excellent thing to do with an old beater box. I have a few of those
around. Do you version-control everything or just database projects? (I ask
because at the last large gig I worked on, everything was versioned. It
never occurred to me before that how valuable it was to version every
technical document relating to a project. Once I realized that, the small
leap to versioning stories, books, articles, etc. was obvious.

Ah, I remember the days of 8 and 10 GB drives. One can trace the lineage of
this box with no more evidence than that.  It must have been a big step up
to add the 30 GB drive LOL.

Arthur, 

I use Subversion as it utilizes an old beater box, 300Mhz, 256MB RAM, 3
drives, (8, 10 & 30GB) and a handcrafted ancient Linux.... works great and
is more reliable than most of the other high performance stuff around the
office. Mind you if it ever fails.....
