- After being forced to Sytos Plus at work, I'm giving strong consideration
- to an alternate (like Backmaster, besides I like underdogs..). We renamed
- Sytos to SyPig soon after I had to start using it. Version 1.34 was so
- stupid that it requests ALL the resources it can and brings our IBM Mod
- 95 server to its knees. This was supposed to be fixed in later releases
- (v 1.35 and on). Folks at work (preceeding me) tell me that Sytos support
- is bad. Anybody else out there with similar\opposite experience with
- Sytos?
