Hi folk,
I have a friend of many years' standing with whom I used to share a flat in
New Zealand in the 1970s, and who works for the USDAFS in the WV / MD
area. He spends a lot of time talking to classes and projecting slides. Now
he's thinking of digital. My first question was "Why?".
Here's part of his letter.

I also asked him what he meant by "meltdown" and did he have access to a
good C*n*n repair-person?
Responses appreciated.
