PCPro UK Real World Computing: Notes just keeps going and going
This fits somewhat with my comments theother day about how Notes has a halo effect but is sometimes perceivedas outdated simply for being old.The fact that the Notesdemo concluded without interruption while the UMTS one fell over at thecrucial moment didn't seem to matter - there's marketing power in acronyms(and a lack of it in any 'old' product). This is despite the fact thatUMTS is still struggling to get off the ground, choked by dubious receptionquality and astronomical charges for volume of data moved, while Noteshas an unbroken - and still expanding - 20-year history of solid deploymenton top of ever unreliable, ever overextended communications pipelines.Link: PCProReal World Computing: Magic Moments(scroll down to story) > (Thanks, Mike)
