<DIV><FONT face=新細明體 size=2>I once had a projector from the office... I had none

<DIV><BR></DIV>lads..<BR><BR>from the "hideously cheap" screen department: i
recently upgraded my (front projection) bedsheet with a 4x8 sheet of foam
core. the resulting performance in all parameters is quite
satisfying.<BR><BR>foam core is a sandwich of cardboard-foam-cardboard used
for building movie sets and architectural models. it is really lightweight and
the cardboard surface is as white as it gets. it is also very planar, so it
holds good focus (no frame construction required). the light weignt lets me
take it up or down easily if i need to be where it is.<BR><BR>i found mine at
a local sign shop. while there, i looked at translucent plastic sheets for a
future rear-projection arrangement. just think of the typical back-lit neon
sign, and you get the idea.<BR><BR>i paid $25.00 for the sheet, and had them
deliver it, since it would have self-destructed if i tried to take it home in
the pickup<BR><BR>i use the 4x8 format with HDTV ratios as opposed to 4:3, so
it is a closer fit.<BR><BR> - adm -<BR><BR>At 01:40 PM 10/18/03 -0600,
