If anyone has any good experiences (or bad ones too) with any of the
numerous projection devices, I would love to hear from you.

Many "say" they are compatible with "multimedia" and are thus capable
of 30 frames per second.  My guess is that they are still shy of video
full motion.

Other than the obvious disadvantages to going with the 3 gun projectors 
(SONY, BARCO etc), what are the ADVANTAGES?  Do they meet the speed 
necessary for multimedia and are they still brighter and clearer?

Does anyone have anything specific to say about the SAYETTE "MediaShow"
or the new BARCO 500 model?  

(let me list the Disadvantages for the 3-gun devices as I see them just
for the record:  too heavy (80 lbs. thus not too "portable")
                 too hard to set up and focus (8 hrs. some have told me)
		 too hard to change screen size or location because of above
                 too expensive to replace bulbs (>$2,000)
                 _______________ (you fill in this one)


Any advice, especially on these 2 models will be GREATLY appreciated since
we HAVE to purchase one in next month.
