I can watch a dvd on the computer, and given that i will agree with dogwatch that i am an uncultured numpty - does anyone have any ideas about perhaps getting a nice long electric lead fromthe computer and project the telly/dvd picture on to summink in the cockpit of a catamaran? I fancy playing this Die Fledermaus dvd all nice and loud but in a very secluded bit of water miles from anyone, promise.
 
ooer, my experience of projectors is from long drawn out meetings where the first half hour is always taken up by the coordinator fiddling around trying to get the damn thing to work, and when it does it is all green or the sound is out .....

If you buy one expect your son to rob it within minutes to play computer games, they are robbed almost exclusively for this purpose, roll playing games like call of duty must look fab on the whole of the bedroom wall /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
I've got a brilliant one in my office cupboard - top of the range in 2004 - now superseded by a huge plasma on a wheely stand, so I was sort of letting it go 'cold' until I could take it home. Until my numpty admin person disclosed she had a key to my cupboard to the IT audit people - so it now has a security sticker and an inventory number which it didn't have before. As do my two laptops. Luckily the SLR digital was on the boat when they called. They had some debate as to whether the 50m site tapes, cans of marker paint, old rigger boots and Honduras mahogany offcuts counted as 'IT' but since they don't need electricity, they didn't get labelled.

Shame. It's in perfect condition except for the huge 'Fn + F5' I've written on the top in indelible marker to avoid those Dogwatch-described moments.
 
Not to worry, i will come round and sign a chitty, countersigned by your numpty admin person of course, and yuou, to take it on site. There i will fill out the accident book explaining the loss of the item which fell into some deep shuttering thing, and also explaining how I then took myself off to the hospital but fortunately i wil NOT make a formal claim taking things further depite my distress at losing the projector, and everyone will be very satisfied at the outcome, once they have got copies of all the paperwork to type into a an expensive computer system which spits out reports that nobody cares about but make the tw at saftey officer feel important.
 
Why don't you just buy a cheap 12v TV (readily available from any electronics superstore) with an integral DVD player.

This assumes you still take advice from women /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
