A friend sabotaged these projectors by blocking the ventilation slits so that the halogen bulb inside overheated.

I still use one as a light source with a continuous spectrum. Hard to find these days.

I made my first presentations with a set of coloured pens. And the foils were $3 each or about $8 in today's money.

@kirakira Anyone have an extra bulb?

[moule@mastodon.moule.world]

@kirakira I remember when a computer wouldn't connect to the projector to display a presentation, so I got out of my seat to point one of these to the monitor with the slides on and the lecturer delivered the presentation as normal

This device has a Fresnel lens. Which means it is inherently good.

@benjamincox @kirakira in my experience it was mostly "it's Friday morning assembly, we are going to make you sing about god for some reason"

That would be super cool!
And it seems like used overhead projectors are relatively affordable/free… :3

@kirakira POLYLUX ftw

@kirakira There's a conference I go to every year that I've been going to for so long that I used to give presentations on one of those things in the early days.

I've also recently met delegates at the conference who weren't yet born when I first started going to it.

Does that officially make me an old fart?

@kirakira i'm not the only one old on this social 🤭
