Re: I need some opinions

Hello.

but not support whoring myself out to Google? (Yes, I know Sourcefire
already uses Google for their email but that doesn't make it right.)

Thanks.

What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly 
upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support? Time to move
off Lotus Notes and onto the cloud with Force.com, apps are easier to build,
use, and manage than apps on traditional platforms. Sign up for the Lotus
