Among other things, Flow can automatically version your files (much like Apple&#8217;s Time Machine, but continuously as you work and without relying on an external drive).<br \/>\nI just saw this comment from designer Cynthia Fong:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Yesterday, I accidently saved over a file that I didn&#8217;t want to, so I opened<br \/>\nit in FLOW and retrieved my previous version. SWEET!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ve <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.adobe.com\/jnack\/2008\/01\/gridiron_flow_r.html\">always said<\/a> that the beauty of Flow is that it&#8217;s like an airbag&#8211;totally unobtrusive unless and until you need it.  The software does lots of other things, too, but I think its file protection features will be the first to pay off for most people.  You can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gridironsoftware.com\/download\/\">download the free beta<\/a> from the GridIron site.<br \/>\n(For the record, I don&#8217;t have any formal tie to or vested interest in these guys.  I just dig what they&#8217;re up to &amp; would have loved it in my previous life as a Web designer.  If I could somehow clone myself, I&#8217;d go work on Flow in addition to Photoshop.)<br \/>\n<i>Tangentially related: my new 17&#8243; MacBook Pro just arrived yesterday (yeah!), and Time Machine did its usual scary-good job of facilitating transfer from one machine to another.  The fact that I have last week&#8217;s browser history on a machine that showed up yesterday is pretty amazing.  (FWIW I&#8217;d previously hit a file permissions problem when backing up to my Drobo, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macfixit.com\/article.php?story=20081222221334401\">these steps from MacFixIt<\/a> got me sorted out&#8211;and I didn&#8217;t even manage to nuke my hard drive via Terminal.  Thanks, guys.)<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A number of folks on Adobe&#8217;s internal design team have been putting the beta of GridIron Flow through its paces.
