You left one out: BIG slide viewer!
Schools bought these by the hundreds for "programmed education". You can now
find them in surplus stores. I got one for $30 (Bell & Howell Ringmaster).
If you haven't seen them, they're about a 16" cube with a Kodak Carousel
mechanism on the top and a rear-projection screen on the front. Most of them
also have cassette tape players.
>What one do you like the most.
For what?
Projecting is awesome, but rarely convenient. I use a projector in my classes,
though, so I spend about an hour a week projecting.
The Ringmaster is my second choice. I have client review my work before they go
away -- I'd rather they request changes F2F than get home and be disappointed
for some reason.
I don't bother with a small viewer. Seems like the worst of all worlds to me. I
sell them to my students to use for screening, though.
I use a loupe on an 8"x12" light panel when I'm picking slides out of a sleeved
page.
The nice thing about slides is there are so many ways to use them!
