Farewell, and Adieu.

The word is Insoluble

insolvable?[^] But now that you mentioned it, the word means "not being able to pay" in French, and not "cannot be solved".

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

And lo it came to pass that it layeth down and left this world. Unmourned and yet, once loved, it has slipped it's moorings and sailed into the great hereafter of digital heaven... Clickity[^] I used to use it all the time, but that was 30 years ago, and now, it is no more.

I have read that it is easier to kill something, if you have severed all emotional ties to it. So, I am not surprised that IBM killed lotus with no fanfare. Not to say that it wasn't emotional for some, I am sure it was.

I saw a horror movie once, and Lotus Notes was the monster; consuming people's hopes and dreams.

Finally!
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 Beta Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead? Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9. I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

Many years ago tried to hack the 1-2-3 installation security (a friend had the install media, but had used up all his permitted installs) in DOS Debug. I gave up when: The install media was 5" floppy discs and there was a hole punched in the disc and the install program looked for a read error at that location. I tried to bypass the code that detected the read error and found that the program was writing to a block of memory that turned out to be the an interrupt handler and the code then explicitly called the interrupt handler! This was way before it got to the point of checking the number of installs. Memories < sigh/>

The people who make lotus notes are of the type who would be torturers if they hadn't gone into programming. The mass-murderer-types created SAP.

One of the things that worries me most in this world is that Excel is actually a very good tool that does its job extremely well. Its problem is that people try use this very good tool for the wrong purposes.

It was initially created by engineers, then obfuscated by accountants. (Anybody besides myself remember Microsoft Works? Excel started as Works XL.)

Yes, accountants seem to think it's their function to make money and fiddle taxes, whereas in reality they're a cost centre that is supposed to simply count all the beans, and leave the making of products (and thereby profits) to production people.

My problem with accounting is that all of their reports show zero at the end. How can you tell how much money you've made if everything always adds up to zero?
