Let me share with you another analogy. I have been in this vertical market niche for over 25 years; make good living. I have competed with many big companies (multi-million dollar companies). Some of these companies would go out of business (of course not because of huge competition I offered; probably for some other reasons). And I am sure that those big companies had a very advanced source control. I imagine that when they were handing out the pink slips or packing their stuff in cardboard boxed, they would always say "wasn't this a great source control system we have had?" <bg>

>>Think of it as brushing your teeth:
>>there are parts of personal hygiene that are more fun,
>>but it not only cleans a part but can keep pain away.

>>And while not fun, it is more a change of habit, not a learning task.
>>And it helps in day-2-day work as well (the fresh breath part...)

>>>Thank you. I am noting your suggestion. Although right now I have no time to learn a new tool so for now the Build Action to None will work.
