[simpits-tech] Projectors

[dphens]

Thanks Rob!

I think I just lucked out. I found a place locally that sells used
projectors. They rent them and then after 90 days, can sell them. They have
viewsonice models PJ500 and sell them for about $1400 or under. SVGA 800x600
at 1200 lumens. They also have another model that sells for around $1000,
but it only has 1000 lumens. I think I will take a look at the PJ500 model.
