Question: Is it possible to use (Win)CVS as a local repository? I don't need a multi-user configuration with sharing a repository on a server (I've been using WinCVS for years in a team, and it worked fine for us), but just want to keep track of different versions of my project code locally. Anywhere some good documentation or tutorials? Or are there other options?

Answer: 
Yep - you need to remove AFTER the slide up has completed. Like so:

```
$("#myTable div:not(:first)").slideUp('slow', function(){ $(this).remove(); } );

```
It appears to me that your first example should work. See this fiddle as an example of that: <http://jsfiddle.net/qWjnt/>
