[SBE] Visio for broadcast equipment?

[Henry M. Seiden]

Thanks. I may tap into the board's suggestions as my friend can get me a cheap, unlimited version of Visio 2010 Pro. I was going to go another route but this is too good to pass up.

But that said... if people want to upload their stencils we can throw up a page on the site for stencils and have them all up for shared download. It could be a consolidated pool for broadcast related stencils and save redundancy of effort in people recreating the same stencils over and over.
