Well, you may not beleive this, but is was a C128 used for controlling
the color changers mounted on the PAR cans. I know this because I
designed the system for a lighting company near here who later sold off
their lighting equipment to another company who now handles U2.

So, sorry it wasn't a A500, but at least it was a Commodore. :-).
