GPL ON THE BIG SCREEN - ONLY WAY TO PLAY IT

Myself and a couple of the guys at work had the opportunity recently to use
a couple of those Monitor projection screens in the conference room at work
the other day.

We set up a PC with our wheels, at either end of the room and projected the
image onto the walls. The screens were ***y huge!!
It felt like being at an IMAX theatre. Wall to Wall GPL.

You actually started to get motion sickness......he he  loved it. We plugged
one of the computers into the conference room sound system, and Boom the
noise knocked you off your chair. Like playing GPL at the picture theatre!!

Well we got access to the room on a Friday night at 6:00pm and left Saturday
morning at 11:00am, totally exhausted mind you.

SO if you get the chance to try out this type of equipment I thoroughly
recommended it...but beware you may go blind!

I was carrying out some work in a cinema last year and the manager told me
he had run Gran Turismo on the Playstation through the projector system,
with the audio through the Dolby sound system.
"Awesome" was the word he used to describe it !!
Unfortunately I didn't get to try it :(

heh....just to get you guys a little bit jealous.......... I took a room in
my house, threw everything out except for a PC, a wheel and a HiFi with 4
Speakers, all coupled with a beamer, now I drive GPL on a 15ft Screen
:))........*everyday*!    Only compromise is a 640x480 resolution.
