Re: Napco Gemini P3200 area?



Napco...I have always called it Crapco. Many years ago, working for some
company, I came across such a system. I came away with the thought of "What
a convoluted system" I am not attacking anyone who loves these to death. But
the logic and the reasoning of how these engineers who came up with this, to
me, is so convoluted. I used to have a whole bunch of them from having
pulled them out of jobs, some brand new. I finally threw them out. The
keypad was not user friendly in my estimation. I find that the most
important thing after built-in programming abilities, is how easy is it for
the average (and below average) consumer to use it correctly without
complications. Let's face it, we have all met Joe, the user who needs to be
told everything at least 5 times before he begins to get it. Yes, I have
programmed them in the past, it is now just a fading memory. Kind of like a
horrible accident that you once experienced with all the pain, and then,
after a while, you do not remember the pain anymore or how it felt, only
that you did go thru such an experience.

Spyros, I feel your pain. It's time to cut off the members. Save your
country now! Greece needs to make it thru the present hard time. Don't weigh
down your country anymore with these systems. Cut off your supplier now.
Perhaps someday they may be able to rebuild yet. All in good jest, of
course.
