This statement is to announce the development of a new software operating system, which will be year 2000 compliant. The program is known as; 'Millenium Year Application Software System', known as 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 oprtunity 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 MYASS already. This morning I was not surprised to see a subordinate’s nosed already 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've never put anything in MYASS before". I helped her through the first time and afterwards she admitted that it was relatively painless and she was actually looking forward to doing it again.

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. However, in the future protection will be required before 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 into MYASS.

As MYASS grows larger, we envision a time when it will be commonplace for a supervisor to hand work to an employee as 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!".
