Jason:

What's the deal with your projector idea? I have 4 projectors, 2 working, 2 yet to be inspected, and was wondering how you planned to set up an OP as a comp projector.

Are you simply going to use one of those screens you set on a projector and hook up to standard VGA?

If you can find one, then yes.

Otherwise, I need a 3" - 5" LCD to place inside it.

Google for homemade projector, etc. to see what I mean.

I have one.

It needs a power adaptor and an old school monitor cable.

As far as I know, it works.

Colour? Passive or active matrix?

I couldnt really say since its sitting in my closet at home. However, when I tried to find it on the web, it didnt exist. I couldnt find it anywhere.

I couldnt tell you what it is right now, but the next time Im home I'll dig it out. As far as I know its made by 3M.

Other than that, I got nothing.

Interesting...
I shall have to invest more reading time into this page...

P.S. I still have the projector screen for Overheads Jason if you want to take a peek at it.
