In my case, our meeting room has a projector which I have to set it up every single time before the meeting, plugin the power-core, the connection line and stuff...and it took me about 5 minutes at least, totally waste of time, and after the meeting, I have to wait it to be cooled down before putting it back, and it took me another 5 minutes... in my opinion, projector is so important during any kind of meeting, because people can't really remember or get to any point without seeing anything. :) P.S I hate it when people print all the documents instead of using projectors, my desk now is totally messed up by all those "meeting papers"..

You'll always have a projector here when you're visiting us over in the UK, Mike! In fact, I think we should nickname ours "The Downey" :) That is strange.

My best guess is that either the customers you visited don't do a lot of training or sales presentations in the office or all the sales people had the projectors off site. Then again, maybe they all thought you where kind of shady and hid them from you? =) -erik Odd, everyplace I have ever worked at had a projector (or giant plasma screen) in the conference room(s)?

But as for corporations, Citi had a huge one in their conference room, of course with teleconferencing etc.. I can't understand either why people wouldn't have one, they aren't that expensive and really help with visuals when you can put something on the big screen and not with an overhead or something. In fact I just finished a 2 week course and they were using this ancient overhead and I wondered to myself why they didn't have a projector.. I use mine for a movie theater at home…

Sounds stupid but it is true. On the same topic though, quite a few clients I have met with recently have large plasma or LCD screens instead of projectors. There has been 2 in the last month that I can remember.
