This is simply going to fucking far.

did this the first time this ignorant negro saw these terms?

how dare these fucking people challenge old terms like this.

i use mster and slave equipment all the time with digital audio and midi sequencing, this is going too far.

forgot the quote

'A Los Angeles County official has asked electronic equipment vendors to consider eliminating the terms "master" and slave" from equipment.

Vendors were sent an e-mail last week that says the terms may be offensive.

The term "master" and "slave" -- when applied to electronic equipment -- describes one device controlling another.

In May, a black employee filed a discrimination complaint with the county Office of Affirmative Action Compliance after noticing the words on a videotape machine.

The issue was solved by putting tape over the labels and replacing "master" and "slave" with "primary" and "secondary.'

Yeah, I saw this last week right before I left. I agree that it is stupid, and from what I have been hearing, it is facing a lot of opposition in the industry.

I've been calling it that for twenty years, and I don't think I will be changing it to be politically correct.

exactly.

i have owned gear that has 'MSTR' and SLAV' as menu choices!

these people need to worry more about REAL issues.

My guess is, its some clueless poor uneducated idiot, and they landed some job at a video equip type place and saw it and was offended.

I hope he gets laughed at in court.

i cant seem to find them though, but he has done some stuff for a guy I know/knew.

i was looking through my rock box trying to find them, its a treasure chest of crap and i cant find them.

I just emailed him again. I emailed last month but it bounced back, but that new site has a new contact email so hopefully he will get back to me.

His work gives me a boner.

I asked him for a price quote on a full sleave. :) Ill let you know what he says. He says he is affordable. I am hoping that means less than a grand. Although I would pay more if I had to.

I could see how someone who is non-technical could take offense to that.

Not surprising in this ultra sensitive day and age we live in where you have to walk on egg shells with every word you use.

Seems like your attention paying is selectively based on the posts, not the poster. :awinky:

Dont think too deep and assume things mom.

Funny thing is, the dumbing down of America has to do with parents not spending time with their kids and educating them.

The proof? Moms on a message board on a Sunday instead of doing anything else.

You sit and monitor a board for free instead of being with the future generations of america.

if you really felt a care for this country youd do otherwise. instead you sit counting threads and monitoring what i post.

At the rate you're posting, that means you'll be here for at least another year - and that's assuming Serge doesn't make any posts during that time. :o

LOL, I'm building websites and searching out Adwords today - posting is merely a byproduct of working. :P

I don't see any "future generations of america" knocking the door down wanting me to educate them, though I am driving my kid to the subdivision front gate so he can go on a date - does that count? :lol:
