I'm reprinting it now, exactly 10 years later, in honor of Thanksgiving, that woman, Notes and Domino people everywhere, our new President-elect, and the American people. It may still be a small world, but maybe - just maybe - we're growing up.

It's a small world
You might not expect social commentary in a technical magazine like DominoPower, but sometimes the real world asserts itself when you least expect it. In my case, I watched the real world happen right in front of me at about 1am, standing in the Taxi line at Newark Airport, the day before Thanksgiving.

Managing Editor Denise Amrich and I had just returned from a grueling business trip. Newark to Pittsburgh to Fort Myers, Florida to Charlotte to Newark, all in less than 24 hours, with an eight hour presentation (spell that "inquisition") with prospective investors sandwiched in the middle. This kind of pace can be tough on the best of days, but on the day before Thanksgiving, air travel is not fun.

After the four-hour flight home (half of which involved dislocating my shoulder to fit in the window seat), we were fried. Our post presentation debriefing consisted of grunts and whimpers about wanting to go home. We were most definitely not at our best.

Domino Web Access Lite users are presented with a subset of the full DWA features. When accessing DWA Lite, DWA Lite is just another mode in DWA. Changes made in one mode are seen in both modes. Users in DWA Lite can read and create mail and contact information, but only view calendar and invitations, as you can see in Figure A.

FIGURE A

A click of the mouse switches between Full and Lite versions. Click picture for a larger image.

The Day-At-A-Glance calendar is available when you click Sidebar. Although you can't set preferences in Lite mode, many of the preferences you set in full mode are supported in the Lite mode. While the intended audience of DWA Lite is travelers, it is not for use on mobile devices. For this functionality, Lotus has introduced IBM Lotus Notes Traveler (and will be introducing DWA Ultralite as part of 8.0.2)
