Professionally, I went from nothing to RCS then to CVS then to git.
In all cases I was the one who insisted on using some kind of source code control in the group I worked with.
Not being an admin, I set up RCS on the server, then later found some other group that allowed us to use their CVS instance. Then when M/S bought github the company got religion and purchased a contract for git.
Getting people to use any kind of SC was a nightmare, this was at a fortune 500 company. When I left, a new hire saw the benefit of SC and took over for me :)
In the old days, loosing source happened a lot, I did not what that to happen when I was working at that company.
