Pros / Cons
- The only suggestion that I would find to be useful to new OBS users, would be if there were a more comprehensive & expanded downloadable .pdf user and functions manual. Or even a more expanded "hints" segment when initially logging on so that it can teach you about all of the various uses & functions available to the user.
- It is a fight to configure the docks in the space you want them and many times the configuration is not supported so it wastes precious screen space.

- Ability to capture screens of information from the Internet. Although I use it for my travel itineraries, it has also come in handy when I want to document a procedure to follow for some task such as telling someone how to activate/deactivate my house alarm system (I can illustrate with pictures and words)
- With the screenshots, you are not able to increase the size of the picture, there is also a lag time when initiating screenshots and video.
