Strand Palette/Light Palette Upgraded

[Slurpy]

New v10 software is on their website right now.

For those of you looking for the OLE, the link is
http://www.strandlighting.com/client...eOLE10.0.1.exe
(Only the link to the console software is on their support page, the link for the OLE hasn't made it yet.)

Played with it for a bit... if nothing else, the interface looks "cleaner".

Well, I guess we know where gafftaper is going, once he reads this.

All of the downloads are on their website. Here is the shortcut:

OLE is there, along with console, users guides, etc.

I have been playing with the Beta has it has developed over the last 6months, and to say this is a "quantum leap" over the old version gives you an idea of the changes.

OK - I could be Strand biased, but I really do think this is a killer control option now. The old candy coloured one was just embarrasing as a replacement for the 500. This is now a real solution, and I look forward to reading the debates in the forums as everyone starts to play with it.

Had my hands on the software a few weeks ago, and it looks like a huge step forward, interested to hear what others have to say.

Slurpy, it's customary and somewhat required for New Members to start a thread in the New Member area introducing themselves. From your posts, you appear to be a descendant of Levy and Kook. Do you have a professional relationship with what we know as Strand Lighting?

I'm actually torn on that one. I'm getting my training on the new console on Tuesday. Should I upgrade the software on Monday? If I do will the trainer know the new software? Should I sit there and get trained on software that I'm about to upgrade? It's an interesting question. I think I better wait and hope the trainer shows up and pops in a key with the new software on it before we start.

Don't count on that. Download the software and have it ready and if your trainer doesn't know it, both of you can learn it together. When reps of <an un-named mfg.> came to my venue to do training on the <deleted>, I asked them if they had brought version <x.x>, recently released. They looked at each other and said "Well, we talked about it..." At which point I produced a floppy.

GREAT Idea. Thanks Derek.

And another thing, I think I've told you this. Be sure to get your trainer's home phone, cell phone, email address, spouse's cel#, and parents' home phone. Charlie Richmond was fond of saying, "I don't mind giving my home phone number out to customers for support, as they never need it."
