Yes, the Lanbox has made a real change in the way I use to work for 
theatre. I have to make this step forward next time. I understand how 
it works, it's just that I need to organize my plot in a different 
manner to be able to work that way.
Using a Lanbox, you really need to "think different" to use all the 
features it has.

I think that the most difficult part is to really understand the 
layers concept, it took me time and it's not easy when you have been 
working with traditional desks for years :-)
