Saw the new Spy Kids movie today. The movie itself was pretty dreadful, although my kids liked it. The first one(s) were a lot better.
However, there was about a half second of screen time for Parallax: The dad builds some sort of Spy finder gadget, and just before he closes it up you can see a board with the Parallax logo, and I believe it had a title on it of the "Prop-1" mrrrmm something or other. I forget the remainder of the title. But it was perhaps controlling blinky lights on the, well, prop.
Was this an early Propeller prototyping board or something? I came late to the party (about a year ago) so I don't know what the earlier iterations of prop boards might've looked like.

That is correct. It is a Prop-1 controller is from EFX-TEK and Jon asked us on EFX-TEK forums if we saw the movie.
Does the Prop-1 controller have the EFX-TEK logo on it or does ParallaxEFX logo on it?
BTW, The Prop-1 controller was idea by Jon Williams and John B when they worked at Parallax. When Parallax discontinued EFX products, Jon W. and John B. started EFX-TEK.com and took over selling all of the products in the ParallaxEFX line.
