| 4264.1 | Don't Panic! (To quote from the Hitch-Hiker's Guide) | WILKIE::FRASER | But I don't have an accent; you do! | Thu Dec 20 1990 14:52 | 10 | 
|  |         This has  already been extensively discussed elsewhere (such as
        in  DIGITAL.NOTE where  you  also  posted  a  message  to  this
        effect.) A conference has  been  set up to discuss the value of
        NOTES to DEC, and the  bottom  line  is  that  there  a minimal
        financial impact to the corporation which  is far outweighed by
        the  benefits  of NOTES.  It's currently  considered  extremely
        unlikely that employee interest conferences will be deleted.

|  |     I'm glad to hear that.  Sometimes its only FELINE that keeps me 
    from looking elsewhere for work.

|  |     Some days FELINE is the only thing that keeps me sane.

|  |     I changed jobs a couple of months ago, and FELINE was on
    my list of pros for DEC....

| 4264.5 | That mail was retracted; implementing caused more work than it saved | EMASS::SKALTSIS | Deb | Thu Dec 20 1990 15:39 | 4 | 
|  |     That note has been flying around for a few weeks now. It's too bad that
    the "retraction" doesn't seem to get forwarded with as much zeal.

|  |         Some good sources of information which will help reassure folks
        that it's not as dark as it seems.

Note 1323.2                  DEATH KNELL FOR NOTES?                       2 of 2

    I've had no less then 5 people mail me copies and have seen it in
    at least 2 or three notes conferences. In still an other conference 
    is a mail exchange between a local IM&T manager and Dan Infante where
    the manager makes a good case that Dan could not really mean what
    it appears the memo says (my words) and Dan Infante agrees that there
    are good business reasons to backup non-technical conferences.
    Check out Topic 1276 in the Colorado conference (especially reply .11).
Colorado			COMET::COLORADO				    1196
    There has also been quite a bit of discussion of the idea of shutting
    Notes conferences in the Employee Involvement conference as well.
DELTA Program			CAPNET::DELTA_IDEAS			    2842
    Check out topic 369 there. The Dan Infante memo is also discussed
    there at some length.
    Lastly there is a notes conference dedicated to discussion of employee
    interest notes conferences and the kind of issues the Dan Infante memo
    raises. It's at:
Employee Interest Noting	LESLIE::EMPLOYEE_INTEREST_NOTING	    3039

|  |     FELINE is the one thing I'd miss if I left DEC, (which I almost had to
    do since I was offered "the package" in December.  I got another position
    the day I had to make the big decision. phew!) I don't reply that often
    to the notes but I so enjoy reading about all your wonderful furry kids
    and I learn a lot about how to care for a sick cat.  I also cry
    when I read about the loss of a precious furbaby.
    
    This is a very valuable file and I certainly hope it's here to stay.
