Hi Chris and welcome to photo-3d!!!  Both Gabriel and myself have
met Chris in Chris' hometown in Greece.

Does the projector take one or two lamps?  What is the rating?

Cannot be more noisy than the TDC.  Can it?

How does this projector compare with the $300 TDC?  Are people using 
these projectors in the USA?

What does "Etude" mean?  Who makes this projector?  Why is it imported
from Prague and not Ukrain?  Is it made by FED (same company that makes
the FED cameras)?  Any hints for other (cheaper?) sources for getting
this projector?

Thanks!
