[BadVista Advocate] An ad campaign idea

[Ringo Kamens]

We don't need a dedicated one for this. How about we borrow one from a
university, camera club, store, friend, etc? We could probably even
rent one. I'm not talking about a old school film one, I'm talking
about a nice digital projector that they use for like powerpoints or
cheap movies.
