Notes Designer 7 super faaaaast... into the past!

I regularly used the Notes Designer R 8.5.2 managed beta client since the first beta, and I must admit I'm happy with it. 

But just recently some of my recent jobs are about Lotus Notes R7 development, so for a while I had to close my beloved Notes Designer R 8.5.2 beta . 

Amazing, I  was really surprised by the speed of the old Designer client, light speed indeed. 

But at the same time I also felt like a teenager watching his own simple baby toys, suddenly realizing how fast time is passing and questioning what the future will  hold for us Notes programmers... 

Getting old... ;-)
