Woo-hoo. Notes 703 for the Mac is out and allegedly runs Java agents. Only 10 years after Java was put into the server and the Windows client - 10 years after Bob Balabans book. Still. better late than never... I've been running the Mac client for a few months now, and whilst its not the most polished client in the world, is okay. In other words, okay enough till we get Notes 801 for the Mac next year. Hopefully, *early* next year.

(In fairness, from what little (and possibly incorrect) information I receive, it may have had to wait on various Java gubbins and Leopard to get the Lotus Expiditor framework working. When I spotted Keven C in Westford, presenting using a 17" pro, I kinda got the feeling it wasnt because they didnt *want* a fantastic client for the mac..)

So. Pop Quiz. Upgrade to Leopard. This week or next week ?

Gravatar Image1 - Notes 8.5 for the Mac Bill ... not 8.0.1 ... and not early 08. It has been confirmed at Lotus Collaboration Summit presentations.

Gravatar Image2 - Damn - I'd missed that. Thanks for the correction..

Gravatar Image3 - And to think about five years ago you called me gay for having a Mac. Bought in 2003 , not one hardware or driver or software issue ans still going strong!

See, us Northern Chumps know what we're talking about.

Gravatar Image4 - Ah. But that *was* before the Intel macs..

Okay. I was wrong...

Gravatar Image5 - Popular rumour has it, 26th October for Leopard release. I have turned into such an Apple sl#t.... I got a little burned on the last Tiger update when my Cisco VPN stopped working Emoticon Maybe I'll hold off on this one.... or not!
