Now now ;-)

I've led a couple of Notes rollouts. Both were for "real"
applications.

The first was for a genuine work-flow based application, back in 1995 -
about 30 users, 3 servers in three locations. The biggest server was a
486-DX2-66, with 48Mb RAM.

The second was for a simpler app, and we used Web clients for the users
(with Notes clients only for the developers). This was a basic
forms-filling app. The neat thing it did was present the form in one of
16 languages (including Greek and Polish which needed lots of non-ASCII
characters.)

In both cases we had a different product for email as well.

That's how you make Notes work ;-)

But as an email system - nah!

Notes *is* a virus. It infects the minds of IT managers, convincing them
that
it's a good idea, despite the evidence of their own senses, and against
all
common sense.

As an additional side effect, it renders them immune to the subsequent
cries
of horrified outrage from their users, causing them to respond with
"ah,
but
it's so much more than an email client".
