No, but the alternative is pretty bad in something like this. :(

ROFL! I try not to remember idiot things like that!

Anyway, that was the PC division of IBM, it's now defunct.  They did so
well for IBM...

It's not even on the horizon, we still have the newest version in the whole
division, 6.53, most are still on 5 with a couple 4.x holdouts!  I know
more about notes admin'ing than the division guys now so I don't see
anything changing anytime soon.  I'm not saying they're not smart, just
that their hands are in too many pots, just like myself.   (I outlasted the
best notes
admin in the division...)
