Hi Mike,
I always read your contribution with great interest, as you very often
bring up fantastic ideas and produce excellent work.
I am slightly surprised by your comments about Qi (disclaimer: we are
Keepthinking and produce and maintain Qi) - as far as I am aware you
probably have not seen it nor tried it.
I would be very glad to give you a personal demonstration of Qi, so maybe
you can have a better understanding on its capabilities before discarding
it - then perhaps you can make recommendation (good or bad) based on first
hand experience?
Do not hesitate to get in touch if you'd like a demo.
With best regards,
Cristiano
