We use Perforce, which we have never had a problem with, including Merges. :-D

I did consider carbonite, but there wasn't much info about upload speeds. Using virtual HDs means backing up those into cloud storage (> 3GB when compressed) is not desirable due to storage costs.

What's the worry about upload speeds? I have mine set to backup at 11:00 each night , doesn't bother me how long it takes, broadband is always on. Carbonite comes with UNLIMITED storage so that shouldn't be a problem either. If you want to backup SAS or NAS that's an extra $20 (I think) per year.

Still, what will really work, and what will really catch on, is something where...
 
-- Plug in a USB cable

-- Click once

I was always forgetting to the backup, or something would get in the way. Now I use Carbonite (www.carbonite.com), Set it up to run at time convenient to you, no plugging in, no looking after disks, totally online. $60/ year per PC - no storage limits. It does need broadband but only backups changed files so you always have a complete set of files. No forgetting to backup, it's just done. :-D.

Hi Jo We use Automated QA's Test Complete and AQTime and are pleased with both of them considering the price. We have had no problems dealing with the company and all Emails are answered quickly and professionally. As far as I'm aware there are trial versions on the net, certainly we tried it before buying it.

Firstly I am coming from the VB side so this may or may not be relevant. Yes, you do have to have the .net framework installed unless you disable the net framework for that project. Each version of Word (and all office applications) needs it's own PIA, however, they are usually backwards compatible. So I always develop and deploy the PIA for the latest version of word that I have. As an aside the PIA for Word 2007 is not backwards compatible at the moment.:-D Regards Graham Wade

As a Systems Engineer, Mathemetician (Hons Deg) and musician (Musical Director of Brass Band) I feel that there is a certain synogy (?) between the three. Stereotype probably came into being because from the very start of computing (babbage sort of time) computers were designed and built to solve mathematical problems.
