Labs and Equipment

Remember when projectors used to cost so much? Well…

The first projector I used for training was purchased with grant funds (in 1996) and cost just over $5000. It was very big and I wheeled it around in a small suitcase.

Now (2007) the projectors we’ve been buying cost around $1000. They are light and small and can be carried in an over-the-shoulder laptop style bag.

I did not realize that projectors are like cars, however, and that while I’m been happily wheeling around in the Toyota Camry version, there’s a Rolls Royce out there, too. Witness the newly released Sim2 C3X 1080! So stylish!

Price tag? Almost $30,000….

(Thanks to Gizmodo for the heads-up about this.)
