into account whether or not it would be more cost effective to acquire the Epson
projector you're looking at. However, with an external decoder, you wouldn't be
locked into choosing a specific device just because it has a decoder - you may
like a different model/brand for various reasons: i.e. supportability by your
tech dept., security concerns (i.e. ease of installing anti-theft eqpt to
ceiling or cart), dependability, cost of bulbs,
etc.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

Epson has a projector that has built in closed captioning capability. It
is called the PowerLite 83c. I am trying to wrap my brain around how this
works on a practical level. Has anyone used one? It is heavier
than the one I was looking at from Dell but if it has a tremendous advantage for
the hearing impaired, I would look into us buying it.
