Re: MMA Deinstall

[Rusty Jackson <rustyjackson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paula, I beg to disagree with you somewhat.  I, like many others, have been
working with MAPICS for a lot of years going back to the System/36 and
System/38 days.  Some of us have worked as IBM Business Partners
specializing in MAPICS (when IBM owned MAPICS) and then as MAPICS affiliates
after Marcam bought it.  As a result, a lot of knowledge has been gained IN
THE FIELD with real life implementation experiences so there are a lot of
tips and how to things that are available because we have done it.

A web site which was somehow indexed with how tos and shortcuts, etc., would
be extremely beneficial to some people.  As an example, "how do I fix my
default ship-to record in COM when I get the message default ship-to not
found?".  Or, how about "what files should I use in COM and how do I match
them for a special query report I need for the CFO who wanted it ten minutes
ago"!    True, you could turn to MAPICS and wait for an hour or more, but
would it not be nice to find out very quickly instead from someone that has
done it time and time again with just a few clicks?

I am a MAPICS bigot and have been now for 30 years.  I try to "brainwash"
all of my clients so that the MAPICS support line is their first line
support.  Their resources are second to none.  But, a tips and technique web
site would sure be nice to a lot of people even though I am sure that you
would not use it.  But, who knows, you might try it when you need something
NOW!
