New Re: Notes Unix clients.
This is one of the reasons that I don't really care about Notes.

They're *all* idiots there. Must have been part of the IBM-Lotus buyout that they couldn't fire the idiots.

And they're all idiots. The interface is pathetic, the servers are sluggish, the marketing could take lessons from Commodore-Amiga and do better....

And they seem geniunly *surprised* that the Linux community isn't flocking to them, since they've ported the server to Linux. (nevermind that most of that community runs Linux on the *desktop* as well, and golly, Note's Ain't That Useful without a client.

Meanwhile, you've got to run Windows to use the client, which sucks on any OS....


Notes admins tell me the reason they use NT for servers is that "Its almost impossible to administer a server without a client running on it, and Windows has the only client".

Bah. They need LARTing, severely.

New Curious thing about Notes.
Although Lotus sell and support it, there's another company who actually write it. They're called Iris. And it seems to be the Iris team who dont't want to port it. Unfortunately, from what I can work out, Lotus can't port it without Iris' help because Iris own the code!

But I'm not sure about all that...
