In my life, I always try to look at the biggest picture possible. To me, the big picture question is HOW MANY people are being successful with this, or being successful with that? To me "how cool" something is does not matter as much as HOW SUCCESSFUL people can be.
Take two rockets for example. To me the absolute coolest rocket ever conceived is the Soviet N-1. Take a look at it in Wikipedia. It looks cool, and it is articulated not by gimbling engines (as the Saturn 5 was), but by controlling the amount of fuel going to it's many engines -- each engine angled slightly differently, thus providing pitch, roll and yaw. When you compare the Soviet N-1 to the US-made Saturn 5, the Saturn 5 is much more simple and, if you will, crude. But the Saturn 5 took man to the moon nine times!
You yourself may prefer LSX and that's fine. All people need to do is download the demo version of QS and the demo version of LSX (if there even is one) and see for themselves how successful they will be. See how quickly they can make a laser show with both programs. QS may -- on the surface -- seem simpler, but I guarantee people will be successful at making a laser show with QS. No doubt about it! How can I guarantee it? Because we are contacted every day by people who tell us their story. People would need to look no further than our Facebook page to see that, for the most part, our clients are literally raving fans.
I appreciate your advice and concern Keith, but QS is already the best-selling laser software on earth. There are single days on which we shipped more than 400 units! What QuickShow does, how it works, and (most importantly) how it helps people is ENGINEERED into the product. And the kind of people to whom QuickShow appeals are exactly the kind of people who don't want to delve into manuals.
There are currently nearly 300 shows on the Pangolin Shows Portal made available by clients for other clients, all absolutely free. They may not appeal to you but -- if nothing else, it shows that people are begin successful with the product. And while initial shows are made using our large built-in library, once people get the hang of it, they then create more complex shows of their own content.
We're just about to announce the winner of our QS and BEYOND competition. The winners of these win super-valuable prizes, like the latest iPhone 5 and iPad Air.
Our mission is to help people be successful in their endeavors. One of the things we do to help accomplish that is offer what I call a "toolbox" analogy. No single tool made by anyone can accomplish all styles of shows. We offer a variety of tools to help people accomplish a variety of tasks.
