Shirley haven't you heard F@#$Up is the new term for "file based?" After extensive google search engines determined that "file based" is usually preceded or followed by F@#$Up on the internet it was decided that it could in fact be abbreviated to just F@#$Up thereby saving several unnecessary ascii characters and lowering the overall bandwidth of the entire internet. I'm surprised you didn't already get the F@#$Up memo. ;-)
