[simpits-tech] Projectors

[Matt Bailey]

Speaking of projectors, has anyone tried sticking a bright monitor
inside an overhead projector? I remember something about a home made
projector using an overhead projector on a site somewhere, I'm guessing
this is how they did it. I'm thinking it would be rather dim but maybe
not too bad image quality.
