    OK, so these guys really expect me to believe that these cheesy $350+ hack jobs are going to have a better picture than a DLP projector, or a Barco? Please, don't waste my time. I can go on to E-bay and buy a Sony 1272 projector for about 700 bucks, which has RGB inputs and can handle at least the refresh rate of a 1024x768 SVGA resolution output if not more (I never tested a higher resolution on one). I used these things faithfully for 6 years on Corporate presentations when the power of a Barco or a DLP wasnt necessary. This ridiculous hack job reminds me of those $10 lenses you buy for your TV that is supposed to turn them into a projection set. Oh well, wasnt it PT Barnum who said "A sucker is born every minute" ?

    just because some people can't learn to use, configure, and manage Windows, doesn't mean its the OS's fault. If your holy grail of Linux was so damed perfect, why do I see so many patches and fixes for it?

    Any OS is only as secure and compitant as the USER that manages it, so put the blame where it belongs, in yourself!
