While we are at the "@" within style sheets, I have a question regarding
"@media" within CSS.

Taking a look at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html , the Media Types
of interest to me are:

all - Suitable for all devices. 

print - Intended for paged, opaque material and for documents viewed on
screen in print preview mode. Please consult the section on paged media for
information about formatting issues that are specific to paged media. 

projection - Intended for projected presentations, for example projectors or
print to transparencies. Please consult the section on paged media for
information about formatting issues that are specific to paged media. 

screen - Intended primarily for color computer screens. 


I am wondering whether anyone has had a go at projection. At work we have a
"projector" that plugs into a standard VGA port on the back of a laptop/PC.
Are these "projectors" part of the "projection" types? I am a bit confused
as I am wondering how browsers etc know whether a screen in plugged in or
whether it's a projector. Do I have the wrong type of projectors in mind?

I'd surely like to test it, but sometimes gaining access to the projector to
test can be a bit difficult. What I am trying to do is recommend some sort
of content re-use through style-sheets, so that our Project Managers don't
have to make separate copies of committee presentations, project progress
reports, etc for what gets displayed on Intranets, committee meetings and
what gets printed out to be filed.

Anyone's advise would be greatly appreciated
