RE: Leica Projection sold off

Yep, it turns out with digital, most, especially in USA, have gone to power
point to show off the family pics and are not buying projectors. Interesting
given all the old chromes sitting around. But people have the bug and
although a projected slide is vastly suprior in quality to powerpoint
projections, people are marching like battery driven lemmings to the
markateers digital drum beat.
