Don,<BR>> We at USC are going the wallpaper route

projectors that we are going to use have 2k lumens<BR>> each and should
give a very sharp picture. This will be similar to ANL's<BR>>
setup we saw in September. I feel that having one screen with the 2 or
3<BR>> projectors merged together will give a cleaner appearance and keep
the eye<BR>> from focusing on one particular screen.<BR>>

Other possibility<BR>is to just buy a 10' wide screen that pulls down over
an existing <BR>whiteboard.<BR>-- <BR> Don
