As sucky as Outlook is, Lotus Notes is worse. Incredibly non-intuitive.
I just wanted to second this. We used to be on Lotus Notes and were so thrilled when we moved to Outlook. Notes sucks ass!
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whyever in Access does it sometimes prompt me twice for the same parameter for a query? It seems to only care about the last value entered.
I thought it was because I was querying a complex table with strange linkages or stuff, but it doesn't seem to be that, or even related to the complexity of the query itself.
It's very annoying.

Best thing about Notes was the actual notes part. Still haven't found a notepad utility I liked as well as Notes. I'm currently using an unsupported version of Daytimer software from 2000. I know it'll die at some point, but I can never get it back because they lost lots of customers, like me, when they used to support it.

Notes back on OS/2 was a cool adventure--I liked the DB applications. Still prefer it as an environment for that sort of thing to Access. But it made a lousy transition to internet email. Its calendaring isn't bad, though. And I liked its integration with my blackberry at my last job, but that might have been implementation choices at the back end and not product-specific functionality.

Because it is evil. It's the Access of Evil.
