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

We're going to have to talk and plan a day when I can come out there. I haven't seen the new tank yet, let alone those fancy new lights of yours.

Catherine, you wont find any issues using ProfiLux it is trusted by some of the largest medical research centers in the USA, if its good enough for them......

Reliability is the key, nothing comes close IMO. Yes like anything advanced there is a learning curve but with a global support network on hand it is rare a question goes unanswered for long.

This is a professional system that just keeps on growing, if you want a controller that will last the test of time, then go with this as it will pay itself back in not a long period where other people are still struggling with flaky third party APPS and having to learn code etc.

The Android is in Beta right now, any ProfiLux user can sign up to this program. once stable the Iphone APP will follow.

The reason Android first is because debugging does not mean having to send it to Apple for multiple approvals which cost.

GHL develop their own APPS so things are always a bit slower.
