Anyone any experience with Livecode under Ventura?

Brilliant. I’m inspired. (I presume you can program Time Machine to use drive A on Mon, Wed, Fri, drive B on Tues, Thurs, Sat kind of thing?).

I never have to think about it, and it's saved me more times than I can count, especially when I save a stack and later find out I introduced problems. I just grab the last working copy and get back to work. When I travel, I put one of the drives in a safe place at home and take the other one with me, just in case. That came in handy once when I had to review a script to answer a client's question while I was out of town. SSD drives are just a little larger than a cigarette pack, inexpensive, and easy to carry.
