RE: Rel.7 Upgrade

Exactly.  Plus with a price tag of $299 you can afford to have a few get
broken.

Yep, that's cool stuff.  The primary advantage I see in thin clients is
no
fans or moving parts.  Not much to break there!

We use Citrix in house, which I love, and run our Client access through
it.  Works great.  We have mixture of PCs, some as low as P75s, and some
thin-clients.  The nice thing is that we have given select users remote
access which allow them to access MAPICS while out of the office.  Easy
to do with Citrix.

Shawn,

The short answer is that NetLink is the web-based (Internet or Intranet)
Java version of MAPICS Browser.  Instead of a "fat client" (running
Smalltalk and Client Access and whatever) with a bunch of memory and a
considerable processor being required to use MAPICS Browser, you can
access
MAPICS Browser with a thin client terminal (or low end PC) running
Internet
Explorer with Java capabilities.

This should significantly reduce hardware requirements (and extend
hardware
life) in my manufacturing environment.  And, if I choose to in the
future,
extend specific applications to the Internet for Supply Chain Management
(although there are some other MAPICS products that I will look at when
that comes up on my never-ending project list).

I'm certain there will be a LOT of information on this at the MUC, if
you
attend......  Just sign up for any of Phil Joseph's presentations and
hang
on to your seat.

Please "cc:" me to the list of people responding to Willie regarding
their
upgrade from R6 (or whatever) to R7.  We are also in the process of
upgrading - just beginning the testing phase.  I know what my payback
will
be (largely the thin client model advantages of NetLink), assuming
everything works as it should, but I'd like to hear any war stories.

We are upgrading to Rel. 7 from Rel. 6.  I would like to hear any
comments
from users that have already made this move.
Thanks,
