It's Flash RAM instead of a traditional hard drive, which means significantly faster I/O access and significantly reduced power consumption (i.e. extends battery life). In all honest however don't bother right now. Pure Flash drives are too small and too expensive to be of any significant use at

We've been using Dreamweaver/Contribute with both our primary public facing site (www.delmarvafoundation.org) and with our internal intranet. Both sites are template-based. To date, Contribute has performed just as advertised. The only area that may of concern is when a Contribute user runs into

Ha! Well, I will probably leave the menu in an includes for now, then make other areas editable. If he wanted to add articles/newsleters to that section, he should be able to add the links, I believe, to that page without needing to edit the main menu. Todd -Original Message- From:
