DG: There are a lot of Lotus-related books. Can you give us a brief description of yours and what it provides that all the others don’t?

Thank you for the review, Mr. Miller!
Sun, Nov 7th 2010 12:06p Thomas Duff Chris Miller of idonotes.com fame weighed in with a review on the Sametime User’s Guide. To say that Marie and I are pleased would be an understatement…
This is the only book on this topic and no other will come close. They have set the bar high for any end user guide in the Lotus software community. When they wake up, I hope they prepare for another round of writing.
Thanks so very much, Chris… It’s nice to know that we met the goal we had set for ourselves in writing [read] Keywords: ibm

Another great review… Thank you, Adam Gartenberg!
Thu, Nov 4th 2010 9:46p Thomas Duff Adam Gartenberg had an opportunity to review our Sametime User’s Guide, and Marie and I are very happy to see his blog entry!
I found the book to be a very thorough and well-organized look at how to use Sametime instant messaging and Web conference features, running from the basic embedded capabilities in Lotus Notes all the way through Sametime Advanced and Sametime Unified Telephony. For users new to using Sametime, or even those moving up to a “modern” version from Sametim [read] Keywords: ibm

Thank you to John Head for a positive review on our book…
Sun, Oct 3rd 2010 5:14p Thomas Duff John Head wrote a very nice review for the Sametime User’s Guide book:
I could have never believed that you could have written a 300 page book, for users, about Sametime. Is there really that much to know about sending an instant message or setting up a web conference? After reading this book, I can tell you there is plenty to know – and far more you never did. For me, this is a great reference. As a user of Sametime since the first version came out, I learned a new tip or feature ev [read] Keywords: sametime
