Can people please start saying "Unicorn" if they mean Unicorn.
SirsiDynix has two ILS's. "SirsiDynix" != "Unicorn". I don't know why
Unicorn users seem to be unaware that their vendor also offers Horizon.
But it's very confusing for horizon users and others to use "SirsiDynix"
as if it means "Unicorn" -- you need to disambiguate please!
( Yes, yes, Horizon has been end-of-lifed. I would bet you $5 that in 10
years there will still be hundreds of Horizon users in the US).
