In the September issue of Information Center, a magazine related to computer
information centers, computer training and the like, there is (naturally)
a section devoted to new products.  There is a new Portable Overhead
Projector which is described as such:

"...the model 28A641 is a 17-pound projector that costs $380.  It is a 
one piece unit with handles, built-in non-skid elevation feed that
retract into the bottom, as well as a projector head that slides into
its own reinforced compartment.  The 14-inch projection lens and 
3360 Watt, 82V quartz Halogen lamp provide steady illumination."

3360 Watts, eh?!  Wow, what a heck of a light THAT would produce in the
conference room.  Maybe they could advertise that you can use it to 
project onto low-lying clouds as well!  Of course, it might be a little
hard to find the 41 Ampere circuit to plug it into ("excuse me, can I 
plug this little projector into your incoming mains?" :-).

Ah, well.  I got a pretty good laugh out of this little misprint (you mean
it's only 360 Watts?)
