There wasn't any version control software out there 6 year ago? Oh, I've been programming for 7 years, I remembered that I used VSS when I started working. But maybe I was using pirate version and you couldn't afford it.

There were plenty of RCSes out at the time, and I knew about them, but didn't use any of them. It was still a pet, personal project and I didn't consider it important. I had used VSS at my previous job and hated it, and I hadn't taken the time to learn any of the OSS VCSes at the time.

It was laziness, nothing more, and I got burnt playing with fire.
