You should have tried 3.x

I was working for a Fortune 100 company at the time they decided to adopt Lotus Notes. They hired Coopers and Lybrand's Notes ubergoob to come and 'splain Notes development to us. He started off by saying, "Before we begin, you must all keep one thing in mind. Lotus Notes does poorly what no other software does at all. Remember that. Lotus Notes does poorly what no other software does at all."

I remember thinking, "Well, with advocacy like that, there's no stopping this product."
