    I think we all miss the manuals.

    Collector's items! You should take those to Antiques Roadshow.

    I have media for every version from 1.01. Anyone have a diskette drive?

    I have a USB 3.5"" drive somewhere around here.

    Perhaps we should set something up in the 90Minds hospitality suite to see how many people remember how to set up the device configuator

    Ugh!

    A 90Minds polo shirt would be the first place prize....

    Posted 06-29-2013 18:14
    How about a State of the Art shirt?

    The manuals for WO and MRP are still viable and actually explain some of the calculations that no one understands anymore. Same with BOM and Scrap factor calculation...which sadly is really a yield calculation...have argued that one with SOTA/Best/Sage forever.

    Posted 07-01-2013 14:14
    I remember the Device Configurator! I just stumbled upon a couple of Best polo's. And I still have a State of The Art travel mug. (Two, actually.) It's kind of sad @DebThomas that the Mfg manuals are still relevant, meaning, nothing much has changed.

    The old manuals at the section (I forget the name) that really explained all the debits and credits with examples etc. The did away with that when they went digital :(

    Posted 07-01-2013 14:29
    It's true Therese, sad, but true. Mark, that section in all the manuals was the ""Helpful Hints"" - best part of the entire manuals and really did explain things very well. Wish I still had a set of these sometimes.

    I have two SOTA coffee mugs and Visions bags and I think a T&B manual before they sold it to Hightower.

    Sadly I only knew SOTA as a user......

    Sadly, the HH's are still relevant.

    Sorry @RobertWood , you're just too young to remember the good ol' SOTA days.....

    My first conference was the last Visions in 2002 in Palm Springs. However I've been around since 1998.

    Ah yes, the conference where everyone stayed up all night hanging around the pool.....

    Yes those were the Best confrences! You learned allot,you were charged up when you left, you saw their Vision and their Insight and most of all you played hard!!!
