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

Jack,

My first company, Factron, had a sister company in CA that ran MARCAM
Purchasing.  Our purchasing "system" was home-grown, mainly because when we
needed it (early '81) MARCAM didn't have theirs ready yet and GMD's was
still really shaky.  When I went to GNP in '88, I found that GMD Purchasing
was STILL really shaky.  We kept it shaking for another 4 years until we
finally went from MAPICS I to /db.  Funny, I think I've suppressed a lot of
memories of those 4 years... ;)

P.S.  Gail's another one who started at the age of 12, though, right?  Or
was it 8? :)
