I am a hobbiest programmer and have learned from past mistakes that
Revision Control is invaluable for keeping me sane after making the
3 am deletion or fixing just one more thing.

The only place I haven't used it so far has been in my intro comp
sci. courses. But I usually belt those proograms out in a few hours
anyway.

I highly recommend getting used to using a revision control system
it well worth the effort and on really large projects it's a must.

BTW I also use RCS, I have all my projects stored under my Linux
server.
