You all bring up good points, so I'll abandon the thought of 3 small
bargain-basement screens.  I've considered the wallpaper route myself.
Does anybody know just how wide this wallpaper is?  Has anybody had
any problems with it not erasing completely after being used as
a whiteboard?  

With our small room, our projection surface will be roughly 10',
and I anticipate projector images of roughly 3.3' x 3.3'.  So,
hopefully two strips of the wallpaper would do the job.  Still
haven't made a firm decision on wallpaper though.  Other possibility
is to just buy a 10' wide screen that pulls down over an existing 
whiteboard.
