Well today was one of "those" days...
After doing a heap of work on the pit I threw everything back in to have a
test flight, everything was going fine, right up to the point where the
projector blew it's ass :(
Got a quote for new bulb and LCD panel, and it's waaay out of my price
range so I'm shopping for alternatives for my OTW visuals.
I have been thinking about a 29" TV and fresnal...any thoughts on that
setup? And also the possibility of using a Matrox "Parhelia" (or whatever
you call the thing) with 3 smaller TV's and fresnals? The Matrox card and
3 20" TV's works out cheaper than getting the projector repaired, and in
the long-run would have much cheaper operating costs.....
Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions/lies/bad jokes welcome at this point!
