ls&Q=3D&sku=3D285957&is=3DREG
It's a Sony XGA from B&H $1,250. + shipping.
Let me know and I'll order it. Also speaker for Jan. is bringing his =

Thanks so much to Steve for providing one for our use until now--it was =
above and beyond and an extremely nice thing to do.
One more thing--off topic. I need two more board members to approve =
$98. expense of flying Chris Watson here from San Diego next month. =20

Paul,

Might I remind you that you do not have the authority to "allow" =

Your input is welcome however your comments seem to take a condescending =

implying you are the only one qualified to make this decision. That is =

Frankly I don't understand your comment that speaker will need to bring =
a =20
projector based on Steve comment that we have been using VGA in the =
past. I =20
don't recall any additional projectors in the room. Sure, it'd be nice =
to have =20
champagne equipment, but we really have a budget for beer, so lets =
temper our =20

And please in the future, keep mind of how your comments will come =

people, it really does not help your point of view to tick people off. ( =

a projector for their presentations.
If they still need to bring a projector, why do we need to buy one?
And restart what process? The $1000 was meant for the possibility of
finding a good projector for that amount (possibly used).
VGA =3D 640x480
SVGA =3D 800x600
XGA =3D 1024x768
SXGA =3D 1280x1024
UXGA =3D 1600x1200
Does anyone reading this use a resolution less than XGA (for everyday
use)?
If we go less than XGA, images and presentations will be down-sampled,
possibly not well (or not at all, which might have been the case with =
the
GCU projector).
Has anyone made a list of requirements that we should try to fill?
Brightness might not be a problem, since we can control the light in =
the
room, but we might want the image to be visible even with the lights =
on.
Do we want the projector in the front of the room, or in the back with =
the
slide projector? How much are replacement bulbs?
I might be willing to allow SAC to choose a SVGA projector now, with =
the
understanding that we'll be purchasing a higher resolution projector in
two to three years.
