I'll be interested to hear what you think.  I saw a digital projection
of Disney's "Mission to Mars" (unfortunately) in Toronto.  I was 
sitting about 15 rows back, and I sure did see the "pixel 
projection".  In fact I saw lots of little pixels, kind of like 
sitting too close to a Sony Trinitron.  To say the least I was not 
impressed, although the cost advantages of digital movie distribution 
will no doubt out-weigh little issues like image quality once the 
technology becomes widespread.  Jim Harp
