Why Buy a ProfiLux Controller

Granted it seems like both these issues have been solved, but how well?

Well I'm a plumber by trade, so probably the furthest thing from a computer(IT) guy. A few months ago, I wouldn't have said the same thing. I first used parallels 7 and windows 8 with a P2. This was far from perfect, it worked but it was frustrating to get things to work properly. I had a lot of help from a few friends especially Jason(Subman), who also by the way uses a Mac.
When I switched to the P3 ex, I upgraded to parallels 8 and what a difference that made. Things run a lot smoother and the initial hook up with the P3 was almost too easy compared to the P2. Windows 8 and parallels 8 may be the key, as they seem to work hand in hand.
I'm just starting to get everything hooked back up, I only have my Eco blue pumps running at the moment, this in itself make the P3 worth it for me. As I can do pretty much anything with the DC pumps.
Let me know if you need anything else, or even talk to Jason, he's a little better at things like this. At any rate, I can throw a few current pics up if you want, just to give you an idea of what it looks like. Thanks,
Bob
