I can tell you that version control has saved me before. It's worth the effort to learn and you'll probably find it actually makes many things easier.

>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>
