Ah, Lotus Notes. Basically if any company has a contract with an IBM subsidiary, partner or franchise (GBM), they'll get pressured to use the Lotus suite, including Sametime, Notes and many other programs that stylistically resemble a Windows 3.1 application.

Guess what email suite the bank uses...

I covertly have a dedicated gmail account for all work stuff that I have told everyone to use instead of my "official" email, just so I don't have to use the Lotus Notes suite so kindly provided by the company. Jesus that is a horrid, bloated pile of crappy software.

Someone tell me: is there a better IRC client for Windows than mIRC? Just got a new Windows 7 laptop after using a Macbook for years and it seems I am ending up downloading all of the same stuff I used back in 2007.

nthing the love for Paint Shop Pro. I was using v6, upgraded to v7 when it came out, and that copy has been amongst the first things moved to every new machine I've had since then. It whinges about registry entries on launch these days, and sometimes crashes rather than actually closing, and if you go near the gradient fill settings after having used the shape tool it'll fall right over, but still it remains dead handy for dicking about with sprite sheets to this day.

Hexchat. It's a free fork of X-Chat for Windows and it's replaced X-Chat on a number of Linux distributions as well. My fav Windows IRC client. Nice scripting too. http://hexchat.github.io/

I can't believe I forgot about Nethack. Yeah, that's on my list too.

Although now I'm also going to have to figure out how (if at all) I can play Commander Keen on my mac.

I also have poo poo like skem11.zip which I've used for sketching schematics of tube amplifiers because I'm a budding greybeard and would rather use a busted old MS-DOS program designed specifically for electronics schematics than vectorworks, autocad, or nanocad, all of which I have access to.
