sorry, i don't normally do this but, I am so sick of hearing people refer to an email, received via Lotus Notes/Domino, as a "note". i.e. "I'll send you a note." or "I just received your note." or "let me send you a note with a 10meg attachment effectively rendering your system useless for the next 20 minutes while Notes sips it through the stirrer straw that is our domino infrastructure..." :mad: has anyone else unlucky enough to still have to deal with this albatross experienced this "phenomenon"? uggggh... ok, all better for the moment.

I'll match your gripe and up you a bitch: try using dirty Blotus Goates on a 56K dial-up connection that's spotty at best. Oh, yeah rock on baby! Even better when the stupid mailbox database size is incredibly anemic, you hit the limit, on a Friday, get a boatload of system alert messages over the weekend and then spend half of Monday morning trying to clean up the mess of all your "notes" plus the digital monkey spew that Goates sends out reminding your your mailbox is full for *every* single goddamn message you got once you hit the limit. Then while dealing with this, warnings continue to pile up from incoming "notes" that morning, leading you to occasionally delete a "note" you wanted to keep. Which you then want to "undo", but can't because Blotes, in it's infinite wisdom (read mind-boggling-baroque-fucktardedness), doesn't respond to undo, no that's referred to as a "Soft Restore" (WTF is a "Soft Restore"? What's soft about it? Is there a "Hard Restore"? Exactly what kind of hallucinogenic dope was being handed out to the boys in blue at IBM when they came up with scrotastic crap?). Then of course you have to futz around trying to archive your friggin old emails, sorry, "notes", and hope and pray that it works, which of course even if it does, that's no guarantee that you don't end up losing parts of your older "notes" anyways. Sigh, I hate Blotus Goates.:mad::mad::mad:

As much as I hate Lotus Notes, I can't say I've notice anybody referring to their e-mails as "notes". Or maybe they did and I just didn't make the connection.

??? What, you don't like people speaking English? Lotus did not invent the word "note", you know. We've been "sending notes" and "dropping lines" to each other for centuries. Bettor to take offense at the awful new words used for written communication -- "I'll send you a text", "I'll send you an sms", and, yes, "I'll send you an e-mail". And we don't need "memo", either, but that fad has passed, at last. We don't need flavour-of-the-month buzzwords. "Letter", "note", "line", and "epistle" (for the geeks) are plenty.
