MOTM

Colors, colors. Hell, I'm just grateful that Paul labeled the damn things in
the screenprint and I don't have to use that clickety label maker thing on
the panels ;)

Serious question, and not meant to offend: has anyone found their patching
has gotten faster or better using color coded jacks? I understand
color-coded cables (though I only color code cables for length), but jacks?
Seems like once you know the module, you would know where things go, and
there is a label for each input and output...

Like I said--no offense meant!

:)

David.
