But I know you already know all this, again, mostly I'm just picking on SourceSafe :) And, if I were at a shop that forced me to use VSS, I'd keep a local SVN repository for my work and synchronize with VSS on a regular and predictable basis - just can't trust it.

And believe me, there are a lot of those around these days. Your next argument should be: well, use Team Systems. Team Systems is great, if you are working with a team of developers. Say somewhere on the order of more than 4. For a team of 4 or less, SourceSafe is still a viable option -- and is better than nothing. For me personally, I use Subversion. @Tony,

I know, blah blah blah, preachin' to the choir, etc. Hah, awesome.
