I read up on this in a Grand and Toy catalog already...

Apparently on a new installation the presentation mode only lasts two minutes. With age, this time limit increases.

There were numerous complaints in testing that before the presenter reaches the conclusion, it automatically retracts, and goes into sleep mode.

Currently only a "work-around" is available. After entering sleep mode and waiting fifteen minutes, the presenter can manually manipulate it to complete the presentation.]]>Sep 10th 2007 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/3ms-dms800-short-throw-projector-cum-alien-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/3ms-dms800-short-throw-projector-cum-alien-probe/Sep 10th 2007 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/3ms-dms800-short-throw-projector-cum-alien-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/3ms-dms800-short-throw-projector-cum-alien-probe/Sep 10th 2007 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/3ms-dms800-short-throw-projector-cum-alien-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/3ms-dms800-short-throw-projector-cum-alien-probe/Sep 10th 2007 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/3ms-dms800-short-throw-projector-cum-alien-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/3ms-dms800-short-throw-projector-cum-alien-probe/Sep 10th 2007 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/3ms-dms800-short-throw-projector-cum-alien-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/3ms-dms800-short-throw-projector-cum-alien-probe/Sep 10th 2007 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/3ms-dms800-short-throw-projector-cum-alien-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/10/3ms-dms800-short-throw-projector-cum-alien-probe/

Anyway, much more tacky than the "organic" design is the "photoshop" video.
