If you ever need a decent projector (for personal and hobby use), buy a used projector from a rental service. If you are careful, and look over what you are buying, you can get fairly recent models at great prices. Some dents and dings, but the hardware is fine.

I picked up my InFocus LP240 used for $420. It is going to cost me another $300 soon, since I am going to need to replace the bulb, but they gave me a bulb with decent life left on it so there is no rush.

But that paragraph meant to imply I paid less than $500 for EACH item, not together.

Oops, that previous one got away from me.


Jerry,
Mind if I inquire on your shopping habbits to get:
Its more than I paid for my projector, my desktops, my touch screens, my
ebook reader, my cellphone, my digital camera, my TV, my Tivo, etc. for less
than 500?  A good projector alone is usually 4x that.


Thanks DRE

Me?

(Oh wait, you said "right mind")

I've got the 30GB model. I've got roughly 7000 songs on the iPod at the
moment. A mix of singles and albums. Which makes it about 2/3 full.

I will end up filling it up, and probably needing to delete things to rotate
different songs and albums.

I do store a little bit of data on it, as well.

As for whether or not Apple can sell hardware to a limited audience, I think
they do it very well.

I paid $499 for the darn thing. Plus accessories. That is more than I paid
for any other computer I own at the moment, except my xServe and Sony Viao.

Its more than I paid for my projector, my desktops, my touch screens, my
ebook reader, my cellphone, my digital camera, my TV, my Tivo, etc.

I bought an xServe because I was impressed with my iPod and previously with
my iMac (and a little because of my Apple ][).

If they came out with a modern eBook reader, I'd be on it immediately.

If they did a camera with the same engineering details, I'd by it.

Or a professional quality digital recorder to replace my minidisc.

There are a myriad of consumer electronics I would by from them if they made
them _right_. Only Sony is coming close to answering my desires for personal
electronics. And they get it wrong as often as they get it right.

> I'm just waiting for the new Nomad Jukebox Zen Ultra. 60 gigs of
space.

I had a 6Gig MP3 player when they first came out, and that held 120-130
albums

Who in their right mind has 1000+ albums? <g>
