I have TB 3 on all 4 systems now, XP + SuSE, Win Vista HP (x2), Initially left XP at TB 2 for compatability with others ( necesary for iPod extract of name book etc by my son with an extra that only works on TB2, so machine had TB3 on SUSE and TB 2 on XP. TB 3 has some advantages, 1) the calendar feature and messages can be tabbed this is very useful. 2)Better layout, 3) some security features. It has an 'Archive feature' that segregates by years so reducing size of current inbox etc. ( Only used minimally by me but useful) -- Regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
