RE: MAPICS Old Fogies (was "mapics 6")

OK.  I can't remember the exact date but I'm sure I started with MAIPCS-I in
1979.  I believe we were the first implementation in St. Louis.  I won't
stretch it by adding the 6 months I spent with the manuals before the
software was delivered.  My employer actually expected me to read that
stuff!  After MAPICS was up and running I took another MAPICS job in 1981 on
S/38.  The pattern continued until I settled in at my present job 14 years
ago.  I've had my hands in nothing but MAPICS for over 20 years.  Of course,
I started when I was 14.

I've started this thread after being "inspired" by
Dave Shaw and Gail L Crane claiming 19 years of
MAPICS experience.

In this context, "Fogies" is gender neutral and
refers to years using MAPICS, not biological age
. . . yeah, right!

I fired up S/34 MAPICS-I on March 5, 1980.

It was chiseled on clay tablets in cuneiform, but
my trusty folding cuneiform template enabled me to
decode it.

We used MAPICS to (blush) run a bricks and mortar
business that built stuff you could touch and try
to profit therefrom.  Quaint, huh?
