[AccessD] OMG!!!!!!

Charlotte:

There seemed to be so much more room on drives. The first major site I
designed and installed had a full unlimited Novell network; a hand built
POS, accounting system, word processors (bought), ran across 2 offices in
different cities and allowed remote access from a home office. All for a
large book store. The server had 386-20Mhz, 8MB RAM, 20MB HD. 

It was not that long ago. We just work in one of the world's fastest
changing industries.

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.....
