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

["Rob Newton" <newton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the same problem.  In my many years of working with MAPICS I have
never had the luxury of working for a company that would spend the money for
me or any other person to go to one of these conferences.  The excuse has
either been to much money or that we can't afford you to be out that amount
of time due to having a small shop. Even the Netconferences that MAPICS
offers are hard get through without any interuptions....  Just how many of
you out there have the same problem or how to you get around it....

HA! I have never been to COMMON (hear it is good, though), and I had to get
a presentation accepted for this past MAPICS conference (registration paid)
before I dared ask management for permission to go!

Budget - oh, yeah.  -- Joan

Great group!  But we never did answer Phil's question....

Do you go to COMMON?
Do you want MAPICS sessions at COMMON?
Does you company send you to both COMMON and MAPICS Conference or do you
have to
choose?

I am really curious about your answers.  Is my company the only one on a
budget?
I am forced to choose.  I have pressing issues with Web, networking, Notes,
etc.- more than just MAPICS.  MAPICS for us, besides upgrades, just runs in
the
background and keeps on ticking.  But, I really need to see what is
happening in
MAPICS for strategic direction and many times MAPICS taught me new ways of
doing
things.  So it is always a tough decision.  My company can not afford both.

What do you do?

I couldn't agree more.
Another benefit (besides reminiscing) is it shows what resources we have
available in this group.

Off topic? This has been the most fascinating exchange I've seen on the list
in a long time!

P.S. We may be getting slightly off topic, but I don't mind if y'all don't.
It's nice to see a little traffic on the list.
