I love the pictures. The writing seems ok to me, factual, short and to the point however I’m not an expert in this field.
I am interested in using some of the pictures in my teaching. Is that ok with you?
No problem, Jeff.
Great site Mr Reid, slightly concerned, however, that you seem to be stealing my identity.

Thanks for the article and report Alastair, I am playing with some ideas that I want to keep hush-hush for now. I will have a look on eBay now for a projector I can dismantle — unless this one is for sale?
