CNET Editors' review

Software: OT2
This bonsai-tree collection-management system suffers from function errors. OT2 has a dull and boring, yet easily comprehensible, tabbed interface. Though there is no help guide, adding data is intuitive and easy. The program effectively stores tree names and other details such as species, status, resellers, price, and place of origin.
The utility's flexible event fields fit most of our needs. The data is kept in the SQL standard and should be easily imported and backed up. You can print or display your information easily with the HTML export function. In addition to the missing help guide, the program suffers from a bug on an important feature. On our test machines, saving added images is disabled since the Add Picture Tab had a nonfunctioning Accept button. We also found the list of pots in the main window unreadable. This freeware program is simple and fills a niche need, but content-management systems are everywhere. We think users would find a better CMS elsewhere to manage their bonsai-tree collection.
