  4. Re: QNX is the way to go on Diebold ATMs hit by Nachi Worm · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I remember when the tech weenies at the post office were big Windows lovers. The post office bought the new Loral letter sorting machines that used QNX. Soon the techies were singing the praises of QNX. Never once did I see a lick of trouble with the computers. The only times the techies had to come was for upgrades and hardware troubles and periodic mandated maintenance.
