Anyone remember Notes?

*shudder* We're stuck with that bloated piece of crapware in our operation. I never knew how bad it could be, but Notes is truly an abomination.

Notes is a testament to just how great the IBM sales division is.

There are not too many corporations who's people could actually sell that product for money.

Notes is a product that most companies wouldnt use if it was free.

Notes is one of the best software tools ever. Name one software tool that provides industrial strength security, workflow, and an integrated development kit. Best of all, this is software that works day in and day out. To the end users in our company, it is the best thing IT ever installed.

Use it every day. It's not nearly as bad as you say; far from it, actually........and I've used most such packages on the market over the years. A bit on the complex side to set up, but it just ................works. Have it fired up right now, matter of fact.

I used to work for a Notes development shop 6 years ago. What I liked about it was that it was a framework especially suited for CRM and that you could write some pretty good apps in it. Course you could write some really bad ones too.
Its like any tool, it isn't the cause of your problems.
But that was the early internet days. I can't see a reason for a closed application like this any more, when there email is a plenty and there's the web. Course maybe Notes has changed.
