Heres one for ya:
The writer is a user of our Computerized Maintenance Management System,
developed for OS/2 and now eCS. See
http://www.oops-web.com
for system details.
=======================
We have been using Aviar's OS/2-based Oz of Prevention System since January
1999. We have generated over 6,000 Work Orders in this time frame.
During that time, the Oz CMMS program has never crashed. We have never had to
reboot our computer as the result of a freeze, lock-up or 'Blue Screen.'. We
have not used Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart. We have not lost any data, nor wasted
time rebooting. We have not had to re-install the Operating System or Oz
itself.
In our opinion, Oz has been 99.9% reliable. It is most certainly a solid
product and a good investment.
