I find Lotus Notes' interface confusing.

It keeps talking about a database when it means my mail, including inbox, outbox, sent mail and drafts. And I always thought a database was something I could write a program against! ;-)


And the one I really hate is "replicate." From the "help," "The Replicatior lets you replicate your database." Still don't know what it does! ;-P

I bet it's even worse for the non-geeks.


>One of the big things that confused the users in the old app was the terminology the original author used. He used quite a lot of computer-ish terms. Remeber non-computer users don't know what terms like table, record, database, query, append, etc... mean. And most of them think Data is character on Star Trek. < g >
