Pat (and ALL): I'm in the process of outfitting a new lab right now that is under construction. I'd like to hear some discussion on which you would put in your lab if you could afford only one: a Robotel system, or a video projection system connected to the instructor's station. Our existing lab has a projector, and I'm getting resistance to go with a switching system from the other faculty. But, the new projectors that'll do SVGA and NTSC are $16K-$20K, so the switchers seem cheaper (I need to do 13 machines). Each system has it's merits and pitfalls. I feel that since we already have a projector in one lab that the switching system is more attractive. So…….. What would you all do? I have a real mix of students, with the ATC, students in the 2-year program, and grad students doing GIS research. -KLF
