Groupwise was kind of the same thing as exchange. Email, Tasks, Calendar. It wasn't bad. Between Notes and Exchange though it's nearly vanished. Not that I think either is better. I really liked groupwise more, but Exchange and Notes always seemed to be more popular.

They had some kind of collaboration software that a lot of people were<br>running and I can't remember the name of it. I think it had an email<br>client. I think that was commonly found on Windows. Was it "Groupwise" or
<br>something like that?<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: <a href="mailto:cialug-bounces@cialug.org">cialug-bounces@cialug.org</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:cialug-bounces@cialug.org">cialug-bounces@cialug.org</a>
