This discussion brings up a long-standing idea I have had. I would like to add a "Why TDE?" page to the website; this should contain a brief set of paragraphs explaining why users like yourselves have chosen to use TDE versus another desktop. Entries should not engage in bashing other desktops, but should instead highlight unique features of TDE that, singly or in unison, have swayed you to choose TDE for use in a particular setting. Thoughts on this? Thanks! Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@...
