Hi all,
I must be losing my mind, as I could have SWORN that I
sent this before (but my SENT box shows different :-)).
Anyway, below are all testimonials from my web page.
If you see a quote of yours, please append whatever info
you wish to include by that quote (e.g. name, location)
and send it back. A first name and location would be
sufficient.
Thanks :-).

"I have been using ECS for 6 or 7 years. Not only is there no other HA
product that
integrates so many different pieces of HA hardware: X10, IR,
Speech-Recognition,
synthetic speech, phone processing, etc., there is no other product that
can even
remotely approach it's capabilities for the minimal investment required
to purchase
ECS. Hats off to Mark Gilmore and Omnipotence, Inc. He may not spend a
lot on
glossy ads and big promotions, but his product is first class!"
??:

"My work requires that I be familiar with commercial building automation
systems,
and of the 15 different manufacturer's products that I work with, I
would say none
are as powerful and flexible as ECS. These are systems (hardware &
software)
that cost anywhere from $10,000 to over $1,000,000 in large
applications."
??:

"I have been using ECS for years and I frequently check out other
systems including
CEDIA '97. ECS is simply the most powerful system available. Every other
system
has significant limitations. Mark is also responsive to comments and
continually
upgrading ECS."
??:

"Just one users opinion: Get it. ECS is the software all others are
compared by. It's always interesting to read the other lists and
hear them go on about wish lists of things that ECS has had for years.
Even with only an X10 controller as it's sole interface it is very
capable."
??:

"I too say, get it!  All other software that I have seen give you the
options that they think up, as buttons, and that is what you can do.
With ECS, you have to put a little more thought into it, but you get
anything you want, can dream up, or can conjure together to work. Even
if something is not directly supported, you can work it if you know the
protocols."
??:

"ECS is a really good product; Mark supports this product, and
implements
many of our ideas, better than any developer I have ever seen;
Many of us, myself included, have received this level of support for
many years, with Mark only receiving our original investment in ECS
several years ago;"
??:

"I have been with your company since the days of Home Automation
Labs, and in all these years its still the best software I have
ever bought."
??:

"Finally, I want to take a moment to thank you for all of your support
to us ECS users. ECS is not just my favorite hobby, it has become so
ingrained in our world that we truly could not live without it."
??:

"By the way I really love the tv-guide web page.
I wish more people could be exposed to ECS; they would love it."
??:

"If Speech Recognition is your preferred method to interact with Home
Automation, ECS has one of the best. Comparisons I've done with other SR
based HA software has shown that ECS can easily outperform them in all
areas."
??:

"My love of ECS is that it works great and I can make any programming
that
I can think up."
??:

"By the way, ECS is a great program. It runs my house and has since
the day I bought it. Every light, alarm system hardwired to send X10,
attic fans, sprinklers. Its really incredible when you think of it.
AND I never even used the IR/TV etc. and many many other features."
??:

"... Their software is right out of the STONE AGE compared to ECS.
As we all keep saying, ECS is the best!! Keep up the great work."
??:

"The flexibility and power of the [web] interface is pretty awesome!".
??:

"Don't let anyone tell you ECS isn't the coolest automation platform
ever!"
??:

"Aw, man....  what a turn-around time !
I highly appreciate your dedication to your wonderful and continually
growing product!!"
