Re: Audio Visual Carts

Cindy, I just want to warn you that our university went out for bids on
high-lumen overhead projectors a few years ago, and Apollo was the low
bid, so thousands of dollars were spent, and the overheads are dreadful!
No one likes them--they are poorly designed, very plastic, and have a
tendency to melt down where the light hits the plastic.  Of course,
Apollo may have great carts--but I would check them out before buying!
Bretford carts may cost more, but you often get what you pay for in this
world, and their carts are quality.  Wanda in Nacogdoches
