Hi Mat

Well done.

I have opened a Lotus Notes Client everyday of my working life since late 1990 (that's when there was less than 1m users in the world!) when I started a pilot of Lotus Notes v2.0 for the UK Post Office - that's 22 years as a customer and/or business partner.

I wouldn't have it any other way

Marc

Only been part time Lotus for me for the first few years, but I first touched Lotus Notes in 1994. So thats 18 years. Holy crap. Almost full time since 2000 (with short breaks and some other assignments). Wow.

Congrats Matt... and thanks I, L, I.

I like those sentiments Mat...except the Giants over the Vikes part. Those of us up here died a little over that game. I've been doing Notes & Domino work for 14 years and hope the best is still yet to come.

Yeah, me too. First saw Notes 2.0 on August 15, 1991, and have used it every day since sometime in Sept 91. 20 years +. Love every day of it.

Nice to see some of the "old" order is still around. I was first Lotus certified in 96. It has been a good living.

Yes indeed thank you!

I too have made my life and living in the Yellowverse. Back in 1996 with Price Waterhouse in one of, if not the largest deployment in the US at the time.

Notes just seemed to "click" with me, I understood it. First as a user then a Developer, then an Admin then a Developer then... then. Notes and Domino have paid my living, bought houses for me, helped raise my family and will send my daughter to college too.

Thanks again Iris, Lotus and IBM.

Yes, there have been great and fun times but the 10 years of fighting against MS-oriented people has taken its toll.

Feel Like crying when I work for a customer and they are migrating out of Lotus Notes. Too much pain, I just cant bear :'(
