Hi,

So IBM is giving up on the "Lotus Notes" race and now declaring all their 
software as "Open Source".... " We lost the race .. but we will put our finger 
in 
MS's eye before we go away"..

Can we now get all the "old loyal IBM customers" to phase Lotus out please ?

Like IMS/DC ?  People still do not phase it out... and you still have x'perts 
arguing that it's valid to do the same type of work, using 10 times the 
quantity 
of resources... it's amazing. 

Note: If Larry Craig can "hang in there" then so can Lotus and IMS DB/DC.
