Hi Anton,

Good idea and it might be the best thing to try, although truthfully,  
PD/GEM isn't the only thing I was hoping to rig up this way. There's  
another app that i'm using that only runs with fink and X11 that I'd  
love to see projected.
Share: It's the best gathering around for sure. I wish I could be  
there more often but that's a long story!
I hope the PD gathering last week went well!

Best,
p
