Re: That's a lot of notes for Notes

"Did not want to investigate any further in case it brought back too many memories of when I last had to use it, 20 years ago this year in fact."

that's like saying you don't like Windows because Windows 98 was awful

Re: Never Got To Grips with Notes....

"until I found that each useful database had a different administrator, and needed a separate sign on and login for each and every one."

Having worked with Notes for 20 years I can honestly say it's not necessary to have a "separate sign on" for each database. I've never heard it recommended and I've never come across any organisation that has imposed such a crazy idea on their users.
