- OS/2 is stable, but not 10% of SunOS or any major UNIX. I know of
- suns that go six or eight months at a time without a crash. Granted,
- OS/2 goes down once or twice a week, but that is still to often.

- I wish whoever maintained your Suns would talk to our administrators.
- The Suns I use to read news and get mail are unavailable at least
- 2 or 3 times a week. Just last week they went down for 2 days
- while they were installing SunOs 4.1.2 (or was it 4.1.3?) The
- server I use at work gets rebooted at least once a week (usually
- while I'm at lunch and can't respond to the "System going
- down" messages!) OS/2 on the other hand, stays up for weeks
- without any problems.
