I'd love to see it... but I'm surprised this is possible. The IMAX theaters around here are all film projectors, not digital - no inputs for such a thing. However the Brattle Theater (in Brookline) has a "screening room" upstairs that seat 50 and uses a Wonderful digital projector (the screening room mostly shows DVD movies). The screen is small for a movie theater but huge for a TV and you can easily up a computer or video game console to it. I think most of the newer digital projectors can accept "normal" inputs (so that they can play DVDs). The multiplexes could host after hours "game nights" where each of, say, six screens was a different guy playing some LAN game. You just wander around from theater to theater watching the fragfest. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:167531 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
