Tom, I think neither Gary nor I (nor anybody else) were trying to put down
your offer. I think we were only commenting on the fact that other than
diskspace, some "tools" (in form of a versioning system) are required to
utilize that space. Imagine keeping track of 30GB of different versions of
a book, and trying to track a specific version, or manage access
protection to said files manually (considering this to be a
multi-author approach).......
