Indeed: “Play with the interactive doodads in the advertisement a bit and you
can create a not unfunny amalgam of chicken, bull and duck, or donkey,
dolphin and rhinoceros, etc. It’s a cute idea, but really, it betrays a
probably unintentional appropriateness. It’s just perfect that Lotus
Notes, an application whose awkward integration of multiple feature
sets I’ve only ever heard spoken about with violent disgust, promotes
itself as freakish software. As if frightening, cross-species
aberrations of nature are what we’ve all been looking for in an email
and calendaring solution.”

Enterprise software is the worst.
