[OT] Saved by Dropbox Packrat

[Andre Garzia]

Hello Matthias,

Packrat is a Dropbox Pro add-on for which you pay 39 USD per year and it
stores your file modification history forever.

I use Dropbox in many ways:

* I store my source code and projects in it.
* I even store svn, git and hg repos in it (not very efficient)
* My LiveCode plugins folder is in my Dropbox
* I have a Dropbox alpha library that will soon become a beta library and
be released as soon as I solve some bugs.

Cheers
andre
