yes, but my point was that they're all choices we all already make, voluntarily: some things might go under change control, and/or we rsync to another server for redundancy. some things we back up compulsively onto a USB stick we carry in our pocket. some things we keep around, but don't back up. some things we download into /tmp, because we don't care if it lasts past a reboot. all choices regarding the importance of our data. a data management UI must make these sorts of choices transparent and easy. paul =--------------------- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
