Becoming a NOMAD

I received my new 4GB USB key today and have already loaded Notes 7.0.2 on it using Chris’ excellent howto (Lotus Notes 7.0.2 – NOMAD Review). There wasn’t much to it and I didn’t even have to manually add admin.exe and designer.exe since I used a full Notes install image. Very nice… 🙂

The USB key comes loaded with the U3 software so now I need to find an IPSEC VPN client that is U3 compatible or one that can be installed on an USB key to be on Cloud Nine. The client should work with Cisco appliances.

Looking forward to lighter roaming.

Notes 7.0.2 doesn’t seem to solve my tiling background image issue… :-(

As reported previously we have been having some problems with form background images tiling across the form in Lotus Notes 7.0.1 for a certain application. Unfortunately the issue is still present in Notes 7.0.2 while the issue doesn’t appear in Notes 7.0. While Notes still has this issue we cannot recommend our customers to upgrade their client to 7.0.1 or 7.0.2. Bummer!

Bruce, Vince and Chris also had the problem in Notes 7.0.1 – does 7.0.2 solve the issue for you guys? I would very interested in hearing from you.
