[SML] turning off light boards

[Richard John Archer]

Was visiting someplace (a college) a while ago  and they often left their board on during the rehearsal and run of a show.....yes 24/7 for about two weeks.   Is there some reason for this?  I've seen it done with special events that were a few days but nothing  usually this long.   One version or another of an ETC product hooked up to older CD-80 racks.    Thoughts anyone?  no.....not volatile core memories, not resistance piano boards that you turn off but in the on position,  not bad computers that won't restart.  Other thoughts?
