Originally Posted By vbdad55 I think ( and that is a dangerous thing) it had something orginally to do with copyright issues -- they didn;t want someone creating toys/other movies etc with Disney characters in the same classic colors. I seem to remember part of this from a talk from Dave Pacheco ( now with Disney Classics) at a Disneyana convention...but someone will correct me if I am wrong

From the stagelightingstore.com ad for the ETC Express console - "...it's an Expression-line console with the easy, smart operational style that Expression user swear by. And it's an economical console that can do virtually everything - professional lighting control and power in the reach of any budget...it's accessible to anyone, especially those being initiated into the world of board operation...Once you know Express, you're ready for Expression and Broadway-level lighting control." While this seems to be a fine board, it is in no way the best out there - it's a beginning console. I know I'm being techno-picky here, but you've shot your credibility on other threads, and you're doing nothing to help yourself here.

Try <a href="http://www.etcconnect.com<" target="_blank">http://www.etcconnect.com<</a> Sure they are - they're a sales site featuring this equipment. But I went to etcconnect, and you know what I found? The same review, word for word. This is a beginning console. It may be perfect for the job, but it's not the best console out there as you initially asserted. I know I'm going into super-critical land here, but from my point of view every single thing you post here, WDWtechie, is now subject to intense scrutiny. And I, being a technical guy with over 30 years in the entertainment industry, am in a great position to bust your chops. Check your facts and think before posting.
