Just a note on the Flash suggestion also, it's a new feature so I forgot about it but if you investigate flash as a solution you may want to focus on the new local storage mechanism and keep the flash player within a browser rather than with a local projector as the projector relys on the browser for managing headers to send data through firewalls or for ssl.
