RE: (a bit OT) Video projectors

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

Yup ... Glasgow. And Gordon over at Stereo Stereo gives good enough advice
that I drove from Winchester t  Glasgow just t  go and *TAKE A LOOK* at a
projector he had for sale. The guy is a real enthusiast first and foremost.

IF you need advice try Stereo Stereo ... ask for Gordon and tell him Phil
thinks he's the man! They aren't cheap but good advice and support never
is.
