After reading through the 70-odd posts in this thread, a couple of things come to mind...

I remember when people got excited over things like hierarchical playlists, and parametric equalization, and adding a second hard drive... Now we're sitting here in great seriousness discussing the color of the paint to be used for the small printed text message on the bottom of the empeg screen! Are we (myself included) being a bit silly?

OK. Cool. I vote for non-colored, but incised into the screen. It might be possible to do it so that when the unit was off, you could read it, but when the screen was lit it would disappear. Or maybe it would work just the opposite. Might be interesting, probably not.

As for the wording, I think Muzza had it right with audiobase. But don't you think we're overlooking the most important thing that sets the empeg apart from any other audio system? The empeg is a computer and should tell it to the world!

So, how about [*logo*] empeg audiobase computer for the screen text?
