    Forget about the lasers for a second... what kind of optics are going to provide a decent image on a 100" screen with a 22" throw??? That, in and of itself, is pretty amazing.

    where do the sharks fit?
    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    That was wierd. I had to copy and paste the link to get it to work. It works fine after that. I'm guessing the price will be at least $3,000 since it includes a screen.

    From what I've heard from more then one source, possibly at least two new laser based projectors will debut at CES 2013. '
    Educated Predictions,of which there are four.

    0.After the fiscal cliff and the new health care fees, I and most other Americans can't afford it anyways.
    1.What is in them will have diverged so far from what we erm.. you need, harvesting will be far less productive and far more expensive per part.
    2. I was once told something very interesting about a possible paradigm shift, and well..... redacted....
    3. My 6860s and G330s will actually be worth something in 2013.
