+  \frametitle{Why should I use it?}
+
+  For a single user:
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Revert files to a previous state.
+    \item Revert the entire project back to a previous state.
+    \item Review changes made over time.
+    \item Backup.
+    \item \ldots
+  \end{itemize}
+  \bigskip
+  \pause
+
+  For multiple users:
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item A reliable way to share files between people/computers.
+    \item Allow multiple people working on the same project at the same time.
+    \item Conflict resolution.
+    \item See who made what changes at when.

+
+  A list of common excuses:
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item It is too much work.
+    \item I have my own system.
+    \item I am the only one working on this project.
+    \item This code will not be used by anyone else.
+    \item The bugs can be tracked forever.
+    \item \ldots
+    \pause
+    \item I'm too busy rewriting the code I accidentally deleted.
