[sussex_mug] Affordable projector to connect to an MBook Air

Has anyone any experience of the new generation of small fairly inexpensive projectors with an LED light source? Apple are selling one for about £250 and has some reasonable reviews. Maplin have some as well. I would initially be looking to project Keynote presentations to small (10-20 people)

RE: [sussex_mug] Affordable projector to connect to an MBook Air

Nick, I've got a couple of Acer C20 Pico 'pocket' projectors running on Macs and they work really well but the room does need to be a little darkened (doesn't have to be pitch black…) They were under £200 from Amazon. Regards John John From:

Re: [sussex_mug] Affordable projector to connect to an MBook Air

Thanks John, that's very helpful not least because I had forgotten to look on Amazon and have found several other similar ones. So will do some in depth research but the portability, LED lights (which last 20K hours) and being relatively cheap has suddenly opened up new possibilities of sharing

Safari and Mail, used extensively, and no problems. Hoping more extensions find their way to Safari in due course, but totally rely on ClickToPlugin which makes things so much nicer... On Nov 24, 4:49 pm, Chris Webb ch...@macservice.co.uk wrote: Chrome for general day-to-day stuff and Safari

Re: [sussex_mug] Affordable projector to connect to an MBook Air

Thanks for that information Tony. Been watching some You Tube videos on the K11. Not very pretty but with 200 lumens is maybe a bit brighter than the really small projectors? Would that be a fair comment. Certainly worth adding to the 'possible' list Nick On 25 Nov 2011, at 11:19, Tony Crooks

Re: [sussex_mug] dymo label writer

I rang Dymo about my labelwriter 320 not working and they sent me an email with a form to download. They said to send back the 320 and they'd send me a new 450 labelwriter - which they did. Worth a call to the Dymo help desk On 11 Nov 2011, at 7:48 pm, Diana wrote: I had a Dymo

Can you explain how a Dymo. Label writer works? It is not clear from their web page. Do they connect to a computer? If not, how do you write out what you want on a label? Is it the same address on the label each time? As I write this I realise that using the label app on the computer means
