0406 - Summary/Objective
0407 -
040701 - Bonnie discussed this with Dan last week.
040702 -
040703 - She explained to Dan that SDS accomplishes the objective he posed of
040704 - automating the Project Binder. ref SDS 1 9835
040705 -
040706 - She, also, mentioned to Dan that SDS permits record segmentation by
040707 - subject, and that Users can assign multiple subjects to a single body
040708 - of information. ref SDS 1 5833
040709 -
040710 - Dan asked her how these features would benefit the group's work. Upon
040711 - reflection, Bonnie feels ATT's existing Project Binder methods are
040712 - adequate.  Additionally, she understands ATT has a "note-taking"
040713 - program that can supplement the Project Binder, which obviates the
040714 - advantage of SDS.
040715 -
040716 - I noted my belief that this position is incorrect, but that I respect
040717 - Bonnie's view.
040718 -
040719 - She said the main concern is that the level of effort required to
040720 - learn SDS exceeds its value.  She mentioned to Dan my willingness to
040721 - demonstrate how SDS can be used to advantage in Bonnie's group, by
040722 - acting as an assistant for a week or so.  This would require bringing
040723 - into service an adequate computer, which I offered to loan ATT, ref
040724 - SDS 1 line 168.  Bonnie said Dan offered to loan her group a laptop
040725 - cpu to carry out a trial, also.
040726 -
0408 -
0409 - Rejects application of SDS
0410 -
041001 - Bonnie feels it would not be fruitful to continue the demonstration
041002 - project, basically because of the effort required to apply it,
041003 - including getting the necessary equipment, and the learning time. She
041004 - also cited uncertainty about the mission of her group in the future.
041005 -
041006 - She suggested I follow up directly with Dan as to whether it might be
041007 - useful in other ATT situations.
041008 -
041009 - Thanked Bonnie for the opportunity to work with her group, and noted
041010 - it would have been a great pleasure to assist them in applying SDS.
041011 - Asked her to say good-bye to Cindy, Karen, Pete and David.
041012 -
041013 - She asked how to remove SDS from her computer?
041014 -
041015 -
041016 - Delete SDS from Bonnie's hard disk
041017 -
041018 - Enter at DOS prompt following commands:
041019 -
041020 -                C>delsub c:\01  {Enter}, then hit "y"
041021 -
041022 - after this runs, enter...
041023 -
041024 -                C>delsub d:\05  {Enter}, then hit "y"
041025 -
041026 - Please call, if you have any questions.
