Touché :) I take it the subversion repository is backed up (off site?), and there is a dedicated hot-swap replacement for the server on stand by. After all isn't the Bay Area a known (seismically) active fault zone? comp.risks is populated with stories of systems without disaster recovery plans, or worse yet, disaster recovery plans that are never tested, or don't work when required - blank backups etc. Whats the opportunity cost for a windows based bug hunter, without svn, or svn knowledge ... a Transporter? Just Sayin' But don't take anything I say too seriously ;) Just points to ponder. -- Grahame ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Grahame's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38755
