This memo is to announce the development of a new software system which will
be Year 2000 compliant. 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."
