As was I. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />Now all I need to do is build my mount and get the projectio surface ready.  Still think I want to try painting the plywood we use white and gridding it.  But I'm also looking at making a large sheet of graph paper down at kinko's with the oversize copier since my image will be to big for a single sheet of the 1" graph  paper that can be purchased.Quick ? - I have a standard monitor input & S-Video connections on the projector and my laptop, which am I going to get a better image from or will it matter for game useage?  Just trying to figure out which kinda cable I should get since I'll need longer ones.ThanksJD</blockquote>
