It has plenty of features, including Mac serial and USB interface for the remote pointer, composite, S-video, and SVGA input. It's tiny, powerful, crystal clear, and fairly cheap at around $3,400 educational price. We use it in a large lab and only slightly dim the lights. I would recommend buying the Kensington lock for it as it's more easily stolen than a laptop. Go to the Epson web site to find a vendor in your area. Ours only works in the Boston area. I find projection systems in a computer lab indispensable, especially for the lower levels. They save a great deal of time and allow you to show and tell complex procedures to all at once instead of walking around the lab and repeating individual instruction to each student. It also keeps you from grabbing the student's mouse and doing something for him, instead forcing him to see, understand, and repeat the procedure himself. -John __________________________________________ John de Szendeffy <[log in to unmask]> Multimedia Language Lab Center for English Language and Orientation Programs Boston University ph (617) 353-7957 fx (617) 353-6195 Lab: http://www.bu.edu/celop/MLL WebFeat: http://www.bu.edu/johndesz/
