I hope you're not taking any of this as an attempt by me to bust your balls as that isn't the case.
Relax mate - not at all...I'm Australian, so that probably helps, to some degree
...it's all water off a black duck's back.
Seriously though, we've had our differnces in the past and will continue to do so in the future I'm sure - but that's what these forums are for at the end of day, in my opinion. BTW, I'm with you on the terrible memory bit...'know I've done that before, but where did I stuff it'...
Which, to me, is the crux of this thread. I've 'been aware' of version control systems for quite a few years, however, until recently, I haven't reached that 'critical mass', which makes you take a serious look at the systems/offerings. Having said that, I have looked at these in the past, but they seemed 'too difficult', especially for a lone developer like myself, to set up and get comfortable with.
With the passage of time though, we're now starting to see some REALLY good tools in this space and for me, this thread is very timely (I missed Mark's thread in '05).
