[simpits-tech] Projector impressions

[Joseph Fagner]

I missed you at the Air show Bob, I was out there on Sunday.

I was talking to some home theater company rep here is Dallas.  He said
(probable so he could sell me his screen) that if you don't tension the
fabric correctly, you can get hot spots and uneven intensity on the screen.
I was thinking about doing a screen a tad bigger than 7x5.  Where did you
get the material and how much per sq. foot did it run you?

At the moment I am using a shower curtain, it works much better than a bed
sheet. I've been thrilled with it.

Justin,
  Why don't you try a real screen.  You can buy the material at your local
fabric shop (or if they do not stock it - they can order it).  I have a 7x5
that I use to cover my bedroom window.  It keeps the light out and works
great when I finally hook my slide projector up.  Also from the outside it
looks like a nomal shade (HOA's should be shot, not protected).  Missed you
at the airshow at Alliance this year.  Chris had his F16 and F111 pits out
for show.

Bob
