It used to be any business presentation had the deriguer slide presentation. Now you get PowerPoint. Traveling sales people had those nifty all in one projector/screen machines to trap you with their presentation: now you get it on the lap top. George Lepp used to show slides to demonstrate whatever technique he was doing: now you get LCD projections. Slide projectors were only incidentally invented to torture B.D. with endless blown slides of out of focus somethings that might have been a real human being if they weren't so small on the screen; it was all about presentations in the business world. About the only people still using slides are LHSA folk and the fine art community for submissions.

I have the Kodak unit that does it. Methinks Kodak is premature in dropping the projector. They should license another outfit to produce it under a different brand with better construction, lenses and digital control technology. It will sell. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
