Fake Steve on Lotus Notes: “Have you ever seen Notes? It’s not software, it’s a form of punishment. Companies that use Notes have to staff not only a help desk but also a suicide prevention center — it’s that bad. Even the poor bastards at IBM, who are forced to use it, do nothing but complain.” Hilarious, and absolutely true. For example, do you know the post that gets maximum hits on this site? It’s the one that has tips on how to export messages from nsf to another mailbox—albeit painfully. I am sure IBM must be loaded with such search queries—in their logs; and yet there is officially not one tool, plugin or an added feature from IBM to port messages to an open source software like Thunderbird, Kmail or Evolution, or any other for that matter. And they talk about open-source, data portability and everything under the Sun. Hypocrites? Hell, yeah.
