I do use it, though, at it works fine mostly. I've heard it explained
that the reasoning for avoiding TDBSAM is that if you're running a PDC,
you probably also need features not provided by TDBSAM. In many cases,
that isn't exactly accurate. We have MANY users, but our needs are
fairly simple (and there are few workstations -- it's just a public lab).
