My  2 cents,

 I have to agree with John on the use of a larger display over monitors. Even at lower resolutions the larger display placed properly does in fact complete the immersion effect. I have been toying with a 60" dlp projection screen and to sum it up my 4 year old said it best "daddy its sooo real"

The other John.....

Sorry to hear about your fall- next time make sure the laptop is under your kiester- it won't hurt as much. ;D

Looks like another warm day brewing down here; hope y'all get some sunshine up in the hollows of NH.

Keep plugging away- I've been trying to do so; mostly out of sheer irritation that the finishing aspect of my 'pit is turning into a bigger project than the mechanicals and electronics... next time: no exterior!!  >:(
