OOOOH!! I think you hit the nail on the head!!! Bravo Michael!!

And I do know where I can get those, cheap, as surplus!!

Hummm...now...a wall space to project the image I see on my
monitor....that...is gonna take some doing.....hummmm

Mount it on an arm hanging from the ceiling, and project the image on
the wall that had been hidden by your monitor. If the mount swivels,
you can use a wireless keyboard & mouse, and aim it on any free wall
space in the room. You could even add a couple servos or steppers, and
control it from your handy wireless rat.

Sadly...my computer center is an Island that extends some 6' from one
of the bookself covered wall, Drafting table behind me...some 15 feet
in front of me are the gun cabinets...and with the dart boards, coat
racks and other stuff hanging from the front of them...thats not a
starter.

But Ill definately keep this in mind! This is too good an idea to
drop!!



Do you have one of the old roll up movie screens from the 8mm film
days? If you do, hang it from the ceiling.


We use a sheet of the blue foam insulation. Gave it a few coats of flat
white latex. Hangs from the ceiling on a couple hooks.
We're looking for a "smart board" unit but those take money. Very handy
though.

That's better than a 2" thick piece of hard foam used to isulate a
flat roof. Tose suckers are heavy!
