Well sure it is alive and well in IBM - they own Lotus!
You're right though - and it just adds one more bit of software to our
resumes :)

A few short years ago, I worked for an IBM subsidiary and found not only
Notes alive and well, but Token Ring too. Fortunately, Token Ring has
since been replaced by fast Ethernet, but I still believe they use Notes
as the foundation for their communications software. Regardless, it's
just another tool to learn and as TW's, a large part of our existence is
either learning about or documenting new tools.
