As promised! Very intersting configuration...I can imagine it would be challenging to get all the tabs and slots to match up. A great design tho'...looks so modifiable to fit different roles. Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 5-Sep-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks Mike - I never did think about the similariy between the TIE-D and the Trifecta, but it's pretty close. Maybe it was a subconscious thing. :-) -Chris (22 years ago, 5-Sep-02, to lugnet.space)
