I am new to the forum and to MOM. I am a purchasing agent with this company in St Petersburg Florida.

I am currently working with MOM version 4.3. I personally have worked with MOM for 10 years.

The company I am working for is thinking about upgrading to 6.0. We are trying to figure out if it is worth it, to upgrade. Our IT guy gave us the upgrade features for 6.0. Does anyone have the Upgrade features for the Upgrades that we are missed?

Also, our company has been on a constant decline and they just cut everyone's hours.

Is there any companies in the Pinellas county, Florida area... that might be hiring, for any positions that who would like experienced MOM users? Most of our employees have been with this company for 10 years, so they would be reliable,responsible,Employees.

Thank you,

Mom for 10 years!!!

If your company is cutting hours and in a decline, I would not consider upgrading until the cashflow greatly improved. If you have a desperate need to upgrade, I would look at the cheaper competitors. IMHO software will not replace quality products and quality staff. You have to have both to get everything running profitably.

Just my opinion...

I agree with you David... you said exactly what I was hesitant about saying when I read this post yesterday.

It was a bright sunny afternoon with a fresh breeze blowing from the northeast. The small sloop was making a series of very short tacking maneuvers as it made its way gingerly up the narrow channel.

The forest marched down the steep rocky hillsides to abruptly meet the sea below on both shores. The tiny but sturdy craft was tossed precariously by the rip tides created in the close waterway. The sole occupant reset her grip on the tiller and brought the sloop around in yet another tack headed toward a little niche in the eastern shoreline. She was kneeling in the boat's compact

When she was about eighty yards from the shoreline she abruptly swung the boat head to the wind bringing it to an almost dead stop in the water. After loosing the sheets on both her jib and mainsails, she quickly scrambled to the bow and let her anchor line out till she felt the anchor touch bottom. She then expertly continued to pay out enough of the line to properly set the anchor, allowing for both safe swinging room as the wind might shift and the expected change of depth as the tides came and went.

She had been so occupied with the Business of sailing her small sloop, that she had not noticed that she had an audience.

As she stood from securing the anchor and started to lower and tie down her sails, he arose and quickly walked back up into the trees behind him. So she never knew that her arrival had been noted.

When the sloop was secured to her satisfaction, Katherine went below and put a tiny kettle on the single burner in the diminutive galley. As she waited for the water to boil, she pulled a thick dog-eared ring binder out of a wow gold shelf to the left of the companionway and opened it to the last entry. This book served a dual purpose as a ship's log and personal journal. She noted her time of arrival and location of the tiny sheltered anchorage, the weather which was close to perfection for a sailor and a personal note that this seemed a great spot in which to write and create.
