I see no reason why to have more than 3 lines, there's e-mail for that. I think the devs share the same opinion, and I don't think this is going to change." It reminds me of a conversation early in the film "TRON". Dr. Gibbs: User requests are what computers are for! Ed Dillinger: Doing our business is what computers are for! Of course, the difference between ENCOM and Gnome is that ENCOM is a commercial think tank while Gnome is a User Interface project. Of course the UI project will be more receptive to user requests and needs than the evil Mr. Dillinger. Wait. Scoff. -- Rich P.
