Those that can       program them easily ......... do.

Those that can't ........ just complain about it.

Just as with any other panel ..... if you program a bunch of them .....
after awhile it's easy. If one is too lazy or inept to sit down and
learn how to work with the panel they install, until they learn how to
do it, then they can opt to use a lesser panel that falls within their
ability to program it and be satisfied with fewer choices. To me, it
never was an issue if Napco was easy or hard to program. I decided I
was going to use their product and therefore I learned how to program
them. Whether it was or is considered easy or hard to program just
isn't an issue except to people who don't want to take the time to
learn how to do it. Once you do, it's good to know that you're using a
very or perhaps the most configurable panel available. And if
installers complain that Napco keypad programing is difficult, then
that means they're not using a laptop and therefore they haven't
evolved beyond the Neaderthal level of programing a PROM panel to begin
with. They accordingly deserve the panel they're using.

market .......
