I've been using Cap'n for years, and find it to be a complete program. Like you, there are some things that could be better, but I've learned to live with them just as we all have with other programs. To secure my laptop: I place it on a piece of that non-skid stuff they sell in all boat stores as shelf liner or place mats. It's kind of a rubberized mesh. Then I secure it to a bulkhead with a piece of elastic cord around the screen, low where it is hinged. It hasn't moved yet!
