Rev. Stewart Marshall > I have not heard great things about DLP. One of the guys that is a regular on Leo LaPorte's TechGuy podcasts seems to prefer DLP's over plasma or LCD in some applications. Evidently DLP on the widescreen (theater) is a no-brainer.<shrugs>

PC's have a huge majority of the market, business and home - I'm not sure that necessarily a good idea. Are there other platforms that could fill the need better? Besides the obvious, the Mac, if they only want a game system how about an Xbox or PS3? Read the reviews as a way to get smarter... of course, YMMV. -- Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | supply this, at least not directly When in doubt, form a committee ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
