[latina] Desktop = Mensa

["Garcia, Rafael" <garcia WPI EDU>]

In Traupman's book, he specifically recommends Mensa for desktop; that or 
Mensa Scriptoria if it is necessary to be more specific..

I agree it would be better to use "Mensa" for "Desktop" and reserve "Tabula" for "panel"; 

The entry for mensa from Words is as follows:

mensa, mensae  N (1st) F     1 1  F   [XXXBX]  
table; course, meal; banker's counter;

The entry for tabula is:
tabula, tabulae  N (1st) F   [XXXAO]  
writing tablet (wax covered board);  records (pl.); document, deed, will; list;
plank/board, flat piece of wood; door panel; counting/playing/notice board;
picture, painting; wood panel for painting; metal/stone tablet/panel w/text;
