he clever though, selling you the exact same product with a couple of minor changes to the interface and has fixed all the bugs of the earlier one. New bugs are included with the product as a freebie

Back to the office question

70%:
Lotus Smartsuite 97 cos it is simple, works, never let us down.

30%
Orifice 20?? cos we need it to send files to people so they can read them and receive files.

Although XP is good, I think it has just made things easier with it's little quirks.

I haven't seen any compatability issues, well we have orifice for converting to send to other companies, but no problems running it on XP with newer XP printer drivers etc.

Orifice is an over priced, over tooled (too many complex things), too helpful (come on that stupid assistant is crap) piece of AMERICAN binary!

Although it is taking over and we are forced to change over to orifice now! Would rather stick with Lotus because we don't waste time or anything!

Lotus are designing all their products to be pretty much incompatible with anything other than another lotus program. They also rely on antiquated database types (if you can call them that) which are very inneficient, unstructured and difficult to work with. Lotus get with it - go Relational and/or object-orientated ffs!

Due to lotus database types we have databases here that are gigabytes and even terrabytes which would be more than halved in size if they went relational. Also Lotus (domino) database efficiency is very, very poor.

If you are doing simple spreadsheets/ written documents with lotus built software it is ok, but anything more complex it falls over.

Exactly, we are a small company doing small spreadsheets.

So for us it is perfect as all the people here know exactly how to use it and can knock up spreadsheets in very little time.

Excel just seems harder to do the basic operations that lotus did so very quickly and easily thats all.

But as we are forced to move forward we need to take the dive and learn new software, also need newer software to do more special things with online databases and all that new sharing of info crap that I nead to learn, (remote data access for internal sites etc.)

lotus used to annoy the pants off me...!

i used to write essays for my a-levels, take them into school to finish, and wouldn't be able to - for the compatability issues stated above :evil:
