jdenny Thanks the first link is great. Very good read for someone who doesn't about know anything about projectors.

Here is the answers to your questions nihil :

[1] Well my brother has told me that they want to use it to project the following :

[a] Mostly movies and Powerpoint presentations.

[2] The room sizes I am pretty sure will very :

[a] The smallest room that they will be using it [ at church ] will be about roughly the size of an average living room. Maybe a little bigger. The biggest would have to be what you have suggested a church hall.

[3]I'm pretty sure that they will want one that is portable.

[a] Nope it will not be used in the same place.

[4]Humm I was telling my brother to use a Laptop since they want it to be portable. They do have a computer but I am not sure if they will use that since well it would be a hassle to move it around all the time.

[a] Since they do not have a Laptop at the moment [ They are planning to purchase one as well ] what would be the specs that you would recommend ?

[i] RAM ?
[ii] Hard Drive ?
[iii] Processor Speed ?
[iv] What OS ? Linux or Windows or MAC ?
[v] Anything else that you can add to the specs would be greatly appreciated ....

[5] Allright sounds like good advice to me.

[6] Projection Screen what should they look for when getting one of those ?

[7] Projection Table any good ones that you would recommend.

One last thing my brother told me that money is not an issue and that they are looking for something that is very reliable.

You must spread your AntiPoints around before giving it to nihil again. Sorry man you really do deserve them.
