[Elecraft] rig size

[Larry Phipps]

Sounds like our careers are similar, Toby. For decades I sat in front of 
an array of switchers, mixers, edit controllers, etc., but from the late 
'90s until I retired it was all done with SGI workstations. The old 
style is definitely faster for live production, but for complex 
post-production you can't beat the computer approach which integrates 
editing, audio and CGI into one intuitive application... and one 
"decision list".  Sort of like traditional rigs vs. SDRs.

I made my decision to go with the K3 vs. something like a Flex 5000, 
mainly because I do simple operation and speed and performance is more 
important to me than complexity in my old age ;-) Also, of course, 
because I can build and maintain it ;-)

73,
