Hey do our theater tech types have a good online resource for basic stage lighting terminology? Our band`s worship leader is trying to learn, since we`re building our own edifice and thus, stage. He`s got a book, but it`s a bit over his head.

This is from Amazon which I know you don't use, but you can find the book elsewhere. It's called Technical Theatre for Non-Technical People. I know the author. It's a bit out of date, but a good book.

My netbook is dead. So now looing for a new one in $200 range or under. I'm going to look through my usual sites. Does anyone have suggestions either as to model/brand or site.
