Rene worked at Digital during the same period that I did, and I remembered his name from many NOTES conferences. Rene said in his email,
It reminded me of a note that my friend Karl sent me last December about NOTES:

He asked me if I remembered the relationship between Lotus Notes and VAX NOTES. (We are both alumni of Digital Equipment, one of the first networked companies, where communities of interest and communities of practice abounded long before there was a name for them.) My friend Karl came up with some history pages for people who are interested:
I wrote up my personal reflections on the use of NOTES in Digital for KM Magazine. Please send me a note if you'd like a copy.
