Andrew,

    I have one comment that I truely think you are wrong about.

    Making mistakes is what makes us better at the things we do. Whether
    it is in business, socially, artistically...it is our mistakes that
    gives us a education. We learn from our mistakes and occasionally we
    learn to become more innovative because of mistakes. By not making a
    mistake and just hitting control-z may be easier, but easier isn't
    always better. 

    "Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing
    which ones to keep. " Scott Adams (1957 - ), 'The Dilbert Principle' 

    "Experience teaches slowly and at the cost of mistakes." James A.
    Froude (1818 - 1894)
