The Sunday papers were filled with top ten lists - news stories, movies and CDs. During the coming week, we'll be publishing our list of the top ten registry of deeds stories of 2003. For now, we'll look to the coming year and a couple of big events. First, the Middlesex South Registry in Cambridge will change from the old Wang computer system to the new ACS system (the same one used in Lowell) on January 20. This means that the satellite office in Lowell will also change computers which will greatly improve the service provided there. The second "new thing" is electronic recording which will begin in Lowell on March 1. Electronic recording will allow customers to record documents from their offices without ever coming to the registry. But more on that later.
