We have discussed buying a LUG projector, but the cost is hard to
justify if it will only be used a few times each year. It is difficult
to demonstrate when not everyone can see the screen properly. If there
are enough laptops at a meeting is it worth using some sort of screen
sharing app, e.g. VNC?

We could always hijack the projector in the bar, but those watching
the footie might object.
