Wow... a walk down Lotus memory lane...

Category Software Development

While reading new and updated documents in the Lotus/IBM Knowledgebase, I stumbled across one titled Lotus Customer Support Process and Dates For End Of Live Product Support.  I don't point it out necessarily as a reference, but as a trip down memory lane.  If you've been doing Notes/Domino for over three or four years, you'll smile when you see things like BeanMachine, Domino.Action, Domino.Chat, and my personal favorite, Weblicator!

So how many of these t-shirts do YOU have?  :-)  Yes, I still have the Weblicator shirt, and it gets drenched in sweat at the gym about once every two weeks or so...

Gravatar Image1 - Ouch!

Score: Bas 1, Tom 0

Gravatar Image2 - Bruce, yes, I'm pretty sure that's the one!!

Tom, I didn't know that chocolate shrinks with age, I'ts never lasted long enough for me to find out.


Gravatar Image3 - I bet I can beat anyone at the t-shirt contest... I have all the way back to the cc:Mail Interchange 1992 t-shirt ("I helped design the world's most popular LAN-based e-mail system!"). Name the product, I must have something around here.

Gravatar Image4 - The one that Daren liked so much at LS a few years ago??

Gravatar Image5 - I have a Notes.net sweatshirt and coffee mug... does that count?

Gravatar Image6 - I have a mug from 1992 that was made to celebrate the first deployment of Notes I was part of. The mug has the logos of Lotus, Ferntree Computer (the company I then worked for) and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (the client).

ABS are still the most committed Notes users I know of. Alas Ferntree is no more - gobbled up by CSC.

Gravatar Image7 - The sweatshirt that says "Webhead" on it?

Gravatar Image8 - I think I still have the Notes.net chocolate CD from my first Lotusphere in 1997 lying around somewhere... Did you know that chocolate actually shrinks with age?

After I'm done in the gym, I suppose you could call the shirt a "sweatshirt" instead of a t-shirt... Every time I hear the term "Weblicator", I want to quack like a duck...

Gravatar Image9 - LotuSphere '93? Was there such a thing? I always thought it started in '94, or was that '95?

Gravatar Image10 - I have a Notes Express t-shirt, which dates to '94 or '95. My Lotusphere '93 t-shirt would be the oldest one in my collection, but I think one of my girls absconded with that years ago and used it as a night-shirt. I do still have a mug from Lotusphere '93 though.

Gravatar Image11 - "it gets drenched in sweat at the gym about once every two weeks or so... " oh, whom did you hand it down to?
