What's "right" for me wouldn't be "right" for you. The problem with some tools is they dictate what hand you have to use them with -- and it's not going to work for a lefty or an amputee. In my subjective world, I may be broken, but I'm pretty darned used to being that way ;) I have a lot more going on that warrants a daily back-up or versioning system than just programming. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I look forward to Leopard (OS X's next operating system version) because it will completely render thoughts of versioning software (Adobe's Version Cue for my graphic design work, or SVN or etc.) irrelevant and the only thing I have to do is continue to back my computer up daily (the entire computer will be version controlled -- WHEEEEEEE! ). And because that will work transparently for my entire computer, I don't have to worry about whether I'm right handed, left handed, have hands, or wear my boots backwards. I just have to take my computer's version of the WayBackmachine for a spin if I need to recover something. It should be interesting, and wasteful. Yay large hard drives. If I accidentally save over an old MS Word (or Open Office) contract, I can recover it, and I never had to think about adding my entire client folder to my SVN repository to do it.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Now, if WebDAV supports drag & drop to save to the repository, I might store my plug-ins there instead of Attach:X.php. Or if it's as easy as changing from Attach: to SVN:. If it's that simple, it works for me.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Crisses</DIV></BODY></HTML>
