[TriLUG] Harsh statements from Forbes with regard to IBM's Linux spin

[Greg Brown]

>From Daniel:

"Lotus Notes is far and away the most horrible software on the planet."

Amen, brother.  I suffer through this crap software experience every single
working day.

"On top of that, once customers start using Notes, it's really hard for them
to switch."

Very true.  It is nearly impossible to retrieve data out of a Notes
"database".  Oracle?  Easy.  MySQL, Postgres, and other database in the
world (almost)?  Easy.  Notes?  I'd rather poke my eyeballs with ink pens.

Notes sucks, and that's a fact.
