Ah ha!  Another Hitchhiker!  Don't Panic!  Just remember your towel.....

If you don't get this, you need to read all six books in the Hitchhiker's
Guide trilogy, but Doug Adams.

Greg, we could really have fun driving people nuts at the
conference........

Well, some people have pull, and get pre-release beta versions.  I'd say

Carl Sagan rates pretty highly.  If it works well for him, maybe it'll
be
released for General Availability.  I'd be afraid to use it though - if
it's buggy, it'd be REALLY tough to recover......  And I don't even what

to THINK about ILF and ALF!  (Talk about an incentive to stay current!)

History of MAPICS and the Universe - part #3....

Well, after Carl Sagen got started, he discovered a new feature in
MAPICS,
called COM_Net (Cosmic Organizational Management over the subspace
etherNet).  After he found our about COM_Net, he installed that and had
the
various civilizations around the galaxy (all the beeellions and
beeeellions of them) enter their own information, saving Carl enormous
amounts of time and money.  This eliminated a lot of bothersome clerical

effort and paperwork, not to mention speeding up his cataloging of the
data.  Unfortunately, Mr. Sagen found that COM_Net doesn't run on Linux
-
he had to install Windows IIS (Incredibly
Insecure Service), but you can't have everything.

Later, Mr. Sagan installed MDCC (Majorly Dynamic Cosmic Collector) to
automate even more of his data collection, and that improved
his processing even more.  Using MDCC, he was able to have his loyal
interns, students, and associates update his PCC (Primary Catalog of the

Cosmos) databases using laser scanning and other automated data feeds.
This
saved him even more time and money in reduction of paperwork and
clerical
function.

Overall, Mr. Sagan has been very pleased with the continual progression
of
his MAPICS software, as it kept pace with new developments in
technology,
and the needs of his sophisticated projects.  The expanding capabilities

and applications within the MAPICS umbrella allows him to run his
research
facilities more efficiently, and he is able to fund even more research
with the savings he has gained from effective use of MAPICS.  He is
especially eager to move to the new Release 7 of MAPICS, and it's
conversion to the much more efficient Java (Journey Around Virtually
Anywhere) interface, which will allow him to expand his research
capabilities considerably, and not have to invest heavily in expansion.
The new Java-based Release 7 of MAPICS will make it even easier for Mr.
Sagan to tie in his various sites and research partners.  Full
implementation of MAPICS Browser with ERP Essentials (Extragalactic
Reseach
Protocols) will make research and collation of data faster, and more
effective.  He will save even more money in the long run by being able
to
utilize thin-client technology.  He is slightly annoyed at the
continuing
delay of release of all the Java components, however - especially the
CSM
(Cosmic Space Management) and Integrator functions.  However, he is
hoping

for good news at the upcoming
Interstellar MAPICS User Conference regarding this, and is also eager to

hear what else is new!

OK - there's my turn - next?

Carl Sagan was the first person to use Mapics to inventory the stars and

record the stock locations of life - Warehouse Earth, Aisle USA, Bin
location Illinois...   His only problem was identifying the batch/lot
numbers and FIFO dates.  And of course the need to upgrade his AS/400
for CSM (Cosmic Space Management) and IFM (Inter-galactic Financials)
due to increased ALF (Alien Life Forms).

MAPICS -  A 'mfg, acct, production, inventory, control system' , i.e.,
an ERP solution for mid-range mfg companies which runs on the Iseries
(old
as400s)
First owned b IBM, then Marcam, now Mapics Inc. Mapics has been around
since
79. With billions, and bilions (dejavu, believe we went thru this once
?) of
users throughout the galaxy, (even the star ships run mapics).
Of course everyone is going to MAPICS, and the whole supply chain
strategy,
and tactical implementations will be so much easier when everyone is
finally
committed.  ( to MAPICS, that is).
Sooo get going, while you can still get support !
