When was Notes first released?

Does anyone know the history of our favorite software?

When did IRIS first release Notes (was it called Notes then)?

When did Lotus acquire Notes? Did Lotus start with Release 1 after acquiring it or did they continue with the Release # from IRIS?

When did IBM acquire Lotus? I know that was around R4 - probably 1996.

Any idea of the numbers of seats for R1? R2? R3? R4? R5? R6? i.e. - was Notes a good but unrecognized product with IRIS and Lotus built it up?

Just curious,

Marc Robson
