Hi Matt This is really pathetic! My abbrev file is quite personal, so it shall be useless to you. As for backup, I strongly recommend you to use dropbox + svn/git. # dropbox is a wonderful online storage: support versioning, 2 GB free capacity, high liability and easy to use. https://www.dropbox.com/ # git/svn: I used to deploy a local version control server, since public server is not so reliable. Public server like http://opensvn.csie.org, is not stable. Google code/git hub force me to share my privacy with the public.
