oh bugger.... i thought it was gonna be something cool like pictures of renee' naked.
so let down now.
i have thought about using it where we are and i did talk to the boss about it - he squashed it flat, saying it would cause too many problems with the customers. i thought about it for a few and have to agree. even with editorial control over messages and feeds, the wrong message at the wrong time would lead to fights.
on the other hand, i know a few mobile guys who don't have our issues, who are gonna be all over this like white on rice.

Thats so simple to overcome mate, If I'm in a situation where I think I might get dodgy texts I just screen them before allowing them to proceed to public viewing.
Oh nearly forgot, I'll pass those pics of Renee over to you by PM... lol

I think Steph will be wanting to do that, lol.
Anyways, it's still a hell of a piece of good news from Firetext for VDJ users.

Let me confirm that it does and will lead to fights if used in bars. Even if you weed out the childish texts and don't allow them straight through to the screen, the girls will come up and ask why their messages aren't showing.
SMS is a great tool for private parties, nothing but compliments on it, but it does not belong in bars.

Totally disagree with you on that, I've used Firetext in bars for sometime now and not one disagreement has occurred because of any message that has been displayed on screens while I have used it.
Any SMS software used correctly and sensibly by the operator will not cause a problem for either the establishment or the user, if anyone comes up and says their text hasn't come to screen I simply point to one of the visuals that I run at all my shows (see the vid) besides I politely (lol) tell them it's at my discretion what goes to screen... no argument.
If anyone did get shirty about it and they haven't yet, I'd just pull the switch on it.

Simple and to the point of what will get to screens or not.
Anyone wanting a free copy of this without any Visual shed logo go to Firetext section here... http://visualshed.forumotion.co.uk/
