Comments on ‘Toshiba shines out widescreen projector’

Great feature 

Password protection - yet another handy feature to screw over the next person in line to use the department's projector.

Damn 

I was looking for something just like this, but I need one that can project 32.5 feet. Damn! I guess this one won't do.
