i did not tell him about the forum yet. i will when we go over the paperwork. hes already talking about selling the projector and saving $$ to get a "bigger" better one and doing it the "right way!"
so yes, this turned out MUCH MORE positive than expected at first. i guess it does pay to keep a level head once in a while huh? DAMN IT!!!!! lol...
again, thanks everyone for your input. it DEFINITELY helped this situation IMMENSELY!!
