This memo is to announce the development of a new software system which will
be Year 2000 compliant. This program is known as "Millennia Year
Application Software System" (MYASS).
Next Monday there will be a
meeting in which I will show MYASS to everyone.
We will hold demonstrations
throughout the month so that all employees will have an opportunity to get a
good look at MYASS. We have not addressed networking aspects yet, so currently
only one person at a time can use MYASS. This restriction will be removed after
MYASS expands.
Some employees have begun using the program already. This
morning I walked into a subordinate's office and was not surprised to find that
he had his nose buried in MYASS.
Some of the less technical people may be
somewhat afraid of MYASS. Last week my secretary said to me, "I'm a little
nervous, I never put anything in MYASS before."
I helped her through
the first time and afterward she admitted that it was relatively painless and
she was actually looking forward to doing it again, and was even ready to kiss
MYASS.
There have been concerns over the virus that was found in MYASS upon
initial installation, but the virus has been eliminated and we were able to save
MYASS. In the future, however, protection will be required prior to entering
MYASS.
This database will encompass all information associated with the
business. As you begin using the program, feel free to put anything you want in
MYASS. As MYASS grows larger, we envision a time when it will be commonplace for
a supervisor to hand work to an employee and say, "here, stick this in
MYASS." It will be a great day when we need data quickly and our employees
can respond, "Here it is, I just pulled it out of MYASS."
