No Problem Tony, you might want to check out some sequencing programs before you even get any lights or hardware as there are several available:
1. Light Show Pro - You are not allowed to view links.
Register or
Login Free to try (limited) but a very capable program (I use it) Has a few bugs but they are working those out.
2. Vixen - You are not allowed to view links.
Register or
Login Free as in no money, many people use vixen and swear buy it.
3. Light-O-Rama You are not allowed to view links.
Register or
Login there current version is S3 and will cost you but is a dependable program.
4. HLS - You are not allowed to view links.
Register or
Login Also free and being added to all the time. A little different than the above programs but some really like it.
Once you pick one you can practice sequencing so when you do get hardware you will be ahead of the game.
