I would like to add my appreciation for Magic Carpet. When updating a crucial app, the knowledge that you have all your old stacks saved and annotated so you can easily revert is just priceless.

Hi folks, as many people in here know, I've lost my HD with all my tools and stacks. During the last weeks, most of my work was trying to make my old G4 iBook into a development machine since I had erased it and allowed my mom to use it as a desktop. I remember when I first saw Altuits MagicCarpet program, it was during RMS in Monterey, I was amazed. Finally a version control system that was sane! I always hated CVS and I am not into subversion. I became a heavy user of MagicCarpet when I started working with the fine monks of Kauai Aadheenam. All our work is inside MagicCarpet, lots of projects and files. And we never lost a file even when doing rollbacks and stuff. Sometime ago, I migrated most of my code to my own MagicCarpet repository on my server somewhere in Texas, I moved things there as a backup and also so I could work away from my computer, for example, using an U3 thumbdrive at the university. My machine is still at apple, now waiting replacement cdrom drive before they try to see if the HD is recoverable or not (I won't allow them to replace that HD) but most of my work is safe. I was just a matter of reinstalling Rev in the G4, copying my plugins and settings from the thumbdrive and launching magiccarpet... couple hours later, all my current source was back in here... The point is, If it was not MagicCarpet, then I would not be doing backups of my stuff in remote servers. MagicCarpet has it all: * it works accross networks, volumes, FTP, HTTP. * It has a simple interface with simple useful options, very easy to learn. * It works from inside Revolution IDE, no tedious task of using an external program. Your topstack is a button away from remote backup. Chipp, Chris and Altuit have given us so many wonderful tools during the last years, I make daily use of many of them, altBrowser, altSQLite3, MagicCarpet, altSplash. This is just a simple thank you message from a very pleased user and also a notice for readers here that don't know about MagicCarpet to take a look into it. It's a very nice tool and can save lots of screams and cries on your side. It also is very pleasant to work in teams. http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/MagicCarpetCover/default.htm Cheers andre _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
