- How about a pair of thick gardening gloves? Worked for me, anyhow!
- There are horizontal & vertical size pots, a focus (you can't get perfect focus
- all over the screen when its big!) and a kind of ratio thing that seems to
- magnify part of the screen vertically if you get it wrong.
-
- Run a simple program or something to show a couple of diagonal lines on the
- screen while you do it so that you can see you've got the proportions right. The
- pixel w/h ratio won't be the same afterwards though.
-
- I couldn't go back to a mailbox sized screen again!
