We already have a system that works. A trio of points:
1) Rik: your projector is a designed for use in small rooms in dwellings, so when it is used in a room the size of the hall we use, the image is viewable only when room is completely blacked out. This makes it hard not only for people to take notes, but also for the speaker to see his scribblings. I know! I was completely bewildered when plunged into complete darkness. 2) The fee CLUG has been paying Rik probably does not anywhere near cover the cost of running it for the evening, and I feel we have used Rik's good offices more than enough. 3) Roy is able to offer the use of the projector completely gratis. > A passing nod to democracy > (poll) seems in order before breaking it. > > Certainly before puncturing and/or rearranging someone else's wall. We won't be damaging the new paintwork by shoving pins into it. Executive descision by the hirer of the hall. End of sentence! > The reflective surface has a lot to do with image quality too, btw. True. Rik: How about we use your screen, and the projector from Roy. -- CS
