I'm sorry - I think I'm missing something here - I know I'm old and lose track easily but... You have touring shows and groups turn up on the doorstep and announce they're doing a show and do you have a fixture for your desk for the PyongZang 34 LED digital laser? From my experience when I was in a touring venue, folk usually talked to us beforehand and gave us a list of what they were bringing which gave us time to prepare (and edit fixtures for our Strand 430) so it wasn't a question of "Sorry - can we hold your rehearsal whilst we figure out what fixtures?". I think it's unreasonable to expect Zero88 to split their library in two (or perhaps more when the Library expands) because then the argument will become "Why do I have to have 4 floppy disks with fixtures on?". I understand your need to keep things simple but when fixtures are involved things get complicated anyway with operation modes, 8bit versus 16bit, number of operating channels - how will your less technical users get on then?

So it's pressing enough to have just the Fixtures you need but not pressing enough to borrow a PC or set up BootCamp on one of your Macs to let you run the Fixture Editor? ;)

Which Antari machines and what age? If you send me a PM, I'll see what I can find out. Bear in mind though that some of the Antari machines aren't worth repairing because cost of things like Pumps and Blocks are more than buying a new machine (sad I know - but true)
