Thought I'd let you know that I got Notes running on the Mac in the end. One word for its makers - anti-aliasing. Believe it or not the fonts in this screengrab are the actual sizes.
Remember in September when I got the Workspace in the Designer client? Well today I got the Designer in the Client:

One time when this sort of thing happened to me I thought of this idea:
I added an "Open Replicator" button to my Designer client welcome page. This way it always opens up in Designer. I only do web development and never have use for the Notes client, so its nice to do the work and replicate in the same app.
I do my development for home on my widescreen iMac using Virtual PC, which is kinda slow so every efficiency counts!
When Notes loses it's launch options, opening the "Folders" (that default folders and viewss) navigation thing instead of the Notes database's frameset:
It can normally fixed by removing the workspace item for the database, then opening the database again (thus automatically recreating the workspace item again). But quite often when I do this, the FIRST time I open the database (from bookmark bar bookmark or whatever), if I got the Designer client open - the database opens that. Shocked, I close the database and reopen it, but this time it opens in Notes.
Most odd. Don't know if this sheds any light, but thought I'd share it!
Anti-aliasing is counter-productive with smaller font sizes. There just are not enough pixels involved for the smoothing illusion to work.
Notes (R5 anyway) on the Mac was not written with a Mac's fundamentally different approach to fonts.
I just bought an iBook running Jaguar. From an end consumer perspective, it is the most satisfying computing experience I've had. Reading/browsing/composing is (almost) always more pleasurable than the Windows side.
(Still... I make my money on the Windows side.)
