Notes 7.0.2 is now available on a Mac!
(sort of.)

Every Saturday morning, I try to wake myself up early by having a bowl of cereal (Sat. is the only day I eat breakfast) and checking through various RSS feeds as I attempt to catch up on the world and wake up at the same time. Meanwhile, my wife is usually doing about 10 things at once. That’s the difference between a night person (me) and a morning person (her). — But this morning was different. This morning I did the same routine and saw a post about Notes 7.0.2 being available on the Mac!

I threw my bowl of cereal on the ground (not really, but I did spill some moving it out of the way) and went straight for my IBM beta program URL to login. After 3 excited (failed) attempts, I finally got in and started downloading the software. I couldn’t wait! I’ve been using 7.0.2 for a while, but always inside the dark world of Parallels/Windows NOW it’d be totally Mac-a-fied.

As it downloaded, I tried to get a firm answer on if it was a Universal app or not. I didn’t find a firm answer on that, but I’m lead to believe that the reason it wasn’t out sooner is because it IS a universal app. Again, not sure.

And then installed the software. Recklessly. No saving anything here. No final system backups. I couldn’t wait! The install moves along quickly. It found the old version, upgraded and finished neatly.

I clicked the icon to open it for the first time. Error: not found. — Hmm… I guess its not so much of an upgrade as a replacement of some type. Not a problem, I’ll just remove the icon from the dock and add a new one.

Again, I clicked the icon. Right off the bat, it looks more like 7.0.2. I log in and it does its business, upgrading databas…. woops…. uh-oh…. “deskt ..]]>
