Re: [AGA-sc] Projector

While it's true that it only gets used for talks and the convention (plus
NEC, but that also includes the free meeting space and time they give to
AGA) I don't think I'd feel right about AGA paying for the whole thing.  But
some help would be nice. :-)

I think AGA should pay for the whole thing, considering that the only 
time it might be used other than an AGA convention is if Karen is 
speaking at a club or something, in which case she is usually plugging 
the AGA anyway.

If that's not true, I suppose Karen will chime in. But I don't think 
that just because Karen might profit from it personally is any reason 
not to pay for it. Especially considering that we didn't pay for the 
original one that recently broke.

For that matter, I think AGA should pay Erik for any equipment he buys 
for AGA as well.
